Notes - Mary worked on a farm in Lithuania and spoke Lithuanian. If memory serves, I think the Lithuanians had their own spoken language but wrote in Polish. Mary met her husband in the United States. Wadowice, small city of about 20,000 some 30 miles southwest of Krakow, has got international recognition as the birthplace of Pope John Paul II. Born in 1920 as Karol Wojtyla, the future Pontiff lived in Wadowice till 1938 when he moved to Krakow to study at its ancient Jagiellonian Univesity. Yet to his last days the late Holy Father remembered fondly his Wadowice youth and places associated with it, the schoolmates, his teachers, and other local folks he had used to know. Also, he tried to include the town, when possible, in his visits to Poland. Pat's grandmother was probably a little older than him but certainly a contemporay.
