Bechyn Czech Festival 24 Aug 1997 |
Dad had made up a nametag for me that said: "Malecek from NZ".
Chris was so happy that I was there, because whenever he met someone who finds out he is John's son, the question always was: "Are you the one from New Zealand". Fred and Margie joined us for a meal in the hot basement. Back outside we hooked up with Jerry, Mark, Roxy, Mike and Suzie (who is now extremely outgoing - complete opposite to the girl I last saw in 1968). Had family tree discussions with everyone, but most importantly Henry and Cecelia (especially about our name being "Malecek" or not). Lovely chats with Dorothy Malecek and Anna Bummel (Pete's daughter). Also met and spoke with Jeanie (Swoboda) and her husband Alvin Wohnoutka, Dick Serbus, Roland and Frances Serbus, Ben Serbus (Adolph's son), Gordy Serbus, and Adoph Serbus' daughter Angie Kinney. Ralph joined us and he is the same as I remember him from 30 years ago. | |||
