Found this old list of Damascus Tanning employees dated May 11, 1960. There were 4 of the Pesock brothers, including my dad, working there at the same time. Also my mom's brother, William Bobinko. Love this!!!

My husband's father also worked there for many years until he had a stroke in 1955. Dave says he also remembers his father, William Durst talking about Frank Pekarski, Brant;s father. I didn't see either of their names. Maybe because they no longer worked there in 1960. Dave's Dad passed away in April 1959.

Paul Lynn Gardner Thanks, Paul. I showed these to Kathy earlier. Her father would have been in the US for three years at the time of the photo. I bet his English wasn't very good yet. He was such a wonderful man! It's so incredible to see him on Facebook!

When I started work at Denton Hill Ski Stanley "Ski-foot" Kowalski worked there as the Tannery had shut down a bit before. Within a few weeks all the bucks were showing the size of their antlers by picking (one hand)up a 100 lbs anvil by the horn (horn aimed to heaven). A few could pick it up for a minute or so then Mr. Kowalski stepped up. He had big hands and they must of been made of steel. He picked it up walked half way down the parking lot and back. Now he was retirement age at the time. Every mother's son who worked at the tannery was hard as nails. Not one easy job there. Everyone of those fellas should be shown respect for putting up with what they did to feed and take care of their families. Not many of them left and God Bless every last one of them. Real men who did real work.
