Po's Peek at the Past

About me

Introduction	Dave Potchak - father, husband and pappy.
Interests	Dave Potchak was born and raised in the coal mining and steel mill area of Central Pennsylvania. Many of his relatives made their living in the mines and mills in the small towns surrounding the city of Johnstown, and Dave's (Po's) stories reflect this blue-collar work ethic and attitude. Dave is also proud of his Eastern European heritage and a large part of his newspaper column (Po's Peek at the Past) relates to his youth and to his ancestors. He is married to the former Terri Gdula, and they are the proud parents of three grown children, all college grads and professionals in various fields. They also boast of grand daughter Anastasia, twin grand daughters, Alina and Maddie, and grandson, Nicholas Ian. Today, Dave continues to write his column and manage this on-line site.
