| As much as I'd like to take full responsibility for who I am today, I really can't. Much of that molding of "John" comes from the Karwoski men, my father John and my grandfather Stan. I spent most of last week in Florida after the passing of my grandfather. As sad as this was, it was a chance to celebrate and reflect on how great of a man my grandfather was and his huge impact on my life. Stan was a Naval Aviator... flying bombers in World War II, then went on to work for the 3M Corporation for 35 years. He worked with the Scotch team at 3M that developed products such as Scotch Tape. From what I understand he didn't fly after the war but had a huge passion for flying that translated into model aircraft building and flying. At 87 years old he had a long happy life, married to my grandmother Roz for 62 years... it was jam packed full of fun, love and golf. I’m proud we share the same middle name "Francis" as that's just one of the many ways he lives on!!!  1945 Torpedo Bomber, TBF Squadron VT23  February 2006, 60th Wedding Anniversary Labels: About John and Jenna, Family |
