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! · Reply · 3w Paul Lynn Gardner Now that I'm semi-retired, I'm also on the Rocker Crew. · Reply · 3w Susan Frederick What a wonderful picture of Mr. Kovacs. He was so handsome! · Reply · 3w Richard Neefe 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. · Reply · 3w Write a public comment… 20201229HAv- Lanny Nunn Coudersport... · 04 December 2020 Damascus Tannery, 1954 Comments Paul Lynn Gardner Dale Ulkins, is that your father-in-law? · Reply · 3w Dale Ulkins Paul Lynn Gardner It sure is! · Reply · 3w Mike Blow My granddad Henry Blow is in the picture · Reply · 3w Ruth Deitrick Mike Blow is that Henry Nd Ella · Reply · 3w Sandy Major Uncle Henry Blow lived next to my Grandparents my son got his first pet a cat from under their house · Reply · 3w Ruth Deitrick Sandy Major Uncle Henry · Reply · 3w Ruth Deitrick Sandy Major Ok mine Are Clella and Elmer · Reply · 3w

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.
