I’m getting a late start on Lisa Alzo’s tribute to Women’sHistory Month. She has a list of
blogging prompts to help us get started.
Today’s (5 March) prompt is:
How did they meet?
My parents met in 1st grade at St. Adalbert’s
school. St. Adalbert’s was (and is) one
of two Polish Catholic parishes in St. Paul, Minnesota. Teachers were strict Felician nuns. Photo here My parents remained in contact with some of
them even into adulthood.
My mother was trained by the nuns in classical drawing. This gave her some special privileges when
artwork was needed for the school
My father won a prize for his mathematical talents.
They made their First Communions at the same time.
I wish I knew more about their school days and how their friendship blossomed into love

Fearless female?
Anyone had to be pretty fearless to marry and start a new life in the
middle of the Great Depression.
