Pani Metanomska i Pan Metanomski, Mrs. Metanomski and Mr. Metanomski, as we have always called them with deep respect and affection treated me and my wife Elizabeth like their own children, when we came to the US from Poland in 1976. We left Columbus in 1979, where we had many memorable times together, including Mrs. Metanomski's French Mother and daughter Marianne, the joy and pride of the Metanomskis. We had stayed in touch over the years and had always mutually enjoyed the latest news about our families. Mrs. Metanomski had always aksed and liked to hear about our sons, who were born in Texas shortly after we left Columbus. We will miss Them both, Mrs. and Mr. Metanomski. Our deepest condolences to Marianne and Her Family. Bogdan & Elizabeth Chodkiewicz
