Carol Polacky was my cousin. She & her husband lived next to us on Huntsville Rd. in Dallas PA. I moved to Lewisburg
in the1960's. I was the General Book Buyer at Bucknell University in Lewisburg PA. for I0 years. I babysat my cousin Joe & Carol's children. She gave
me a beautuful leaded glass hexagonal mirror. We had leaded glass windows in our home next door. I cherish this piece today. It proudly sits on my breakfast table today. I hope you are all doing well.

Joe was my first cousin (fathers brothers son) and have fond memories when we would visit - after @ 14/15 years of age we stopped going to PA as often so we lost track except for occasional meetings - years later we got together again and stayed in touch by phone - so today I learned of his passing. He is missed, a good human being

I knew Joe from his days at Commonwealth Telephone. During a summer thunderstorm, lightning struck an air conditioning pipe on the roof of a Lake Street building. Due to the bright flash and horrendous clap of thunder, most of the folks dove under their desks and everything grew quiet. Suddenly, a door swings open and there was Joe towering over everybody. He called out, "It's okay. It just grounded out. Everything is fine." He was applauded.
Rest in peace, Joe. Thanks for the memories.
