Welcome to 

In June, 2004, it was 50 years since I was one of the 8th grade graduates at St. Mark School in Chicago IL.   The purpose of this page is to round up some old friends from those days. Some of my classmates went to Holy Trinity with me, so I was able to keep up with them.  Last January, I took my Mom and wife on a tour of the old neighborhood.  I took the following Pictures with my digital camera.  These pictures have been reduced to 300 pixels so that the page will load faster.  If you click on the picture, it will show the full 900 pixel picture, then use your browser's back button to return to this page.

(Left) Our old school still looks good.  This is the front view with the old convent on the left. (Right)  This is a view from the corner of Cortez and Campbell. It shows the playground where we played "Buck Buck, How many fingers up", tackle football in the snow and "Pinners" in the Spring and Fall.  The City of Chicago constructed a garden in the middle of the intersection in 2001.  Cars crash into it frequently. 

(Left) This view shows the side of the school, play ground and the Rectory.  (Right) Here you see part of the school , the Convent and the row of houses on Cortez Street.

(Left) This is St. Fedalis, my wife, (Carole Nowak) graduated from there in 1954. (Right) My mom still lives in this house on Rockwell street.  2 of my grandchildren are cleaning the balcony for there great grand mother.  The car in front is my electric car that goes 50 miles on gallon of gas.
