| Introduction | An American of Pennsylvania Dutch, Irish and German descent on my Dad's side (Dad was a Lokie Engineer and; Yardmaster at No.6 Colliery, L.C.and N, Co). and Polish on my Mother.s side (A stay at home Mom). Born and raised in Summit Hill, PA. Married to Ann "Honey Stanko" Dickman, originally from Lansford, PA. Ann's parents, August Stanko and Pauline Skrovanek migrated from Slovakia, met and married in USA and settled in Lansford, PA. God Bless. |
| Interests | Wife, Family, Community. I will never be able to fully repay COPLAY and those who showed confidence in me, for the Career and life provided to me and my Family. |
| Favorite movies | Westerns and wide open space scenes. Pioneer living. Mollie Maguires movies, which remind me of where Ann and I came from and the livelihood of our parents and other relatives. They didn't have it easy. |
| Favorite music | Austrian (German) oompah music, Stems from one and a half years stationed in Linz, Austria at the Refugee Interrogation Center, Never on Military Post in that time, Our love of Wienerschnitzel mit brat kartofel is the fallout of that period, Never expected to be in a community like Coplay where up to 80 percent of the residents in 1955 either came from, or were related to folks who originated in Burgenland Province, Austria, Ann and I used to ride a G.I. Bus around Linz which had an abundance of Gazebos with Austrian Music Bands. Heaven and a slice of Utopia in Europe. |
| Favorite books | Checkbooks, with lots of money in them. Of course I know what kind of books I am supposed to list here, but -- I can dream, can't I? --Smile with me. |
