Finally — some pictures

I have finally begun to post some pictures. There are a lot to go through and I’ve tried to select an assortment. Check back again as I’ll keep adding to them as the days go on, I have a lot to go through.

The link is http://poland.leonkonieczny.com/images/2010PolandTour/.

So far I’ve published these:

  • 01-02 Gdansk — Pictures from the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot area.
  • Family — Pictures of me, Sonja, and Pat with our second and third cousins from Gdansk
  • Westerplatte – Solidarnosc — Pictures from our visit to Westerplatte commemorating the day and place where, 71 years earlier, World War II began, and the place where, just over 30 years earlier, the fall of communism began…..

Keep checking back, and I’ll post an update here when I upload more pictures.

In case there are any pictures you want a copy of, just email me, leon@leonkonieczny.com, and I’ll be happy to share the full size version. Thanks!

    Yay! I’m so glad you’ve started to post pictures. Now I just need to match up what you said about each place with the photos. I really like the variety of colors for the buildings in Gdansk.

      Hi Alicia; this is Pat, Leon’s mother’s cousin whom you met that first night. I just want to tell you how thrilled we were to meet all of you. It was so wonderful!! Every time I think of it, it brings tears to my eyes. I was so unexpected; I am going to search & see if Leon has published information on your greatgrandfather, Tony, my grandfather’s brother; My brother Don, tells me he was killed by the Ukranians; I want to know what happened & I want to know all about his family.
      I’ll be in touch again, I have been gone the last month to help out my son who had surgery so now will be home for a short while before we go out of town again next week.
      Hope all is well with all your family; say Hi! from me to your mother, husband, sons, & Paulina. Love From Florida; Pat (Urbas) Cohen

        We wish good health to your son.
        I’m actually writing down family memories and after translating them to english I will share it with Leon. Pat, maybe You would like to come with Leon to us? We want to go to Ukraine and it could be possibility for You to know more about family history.

          To come back to Poland & see all of you again & any others in the area would be so very wonderful.
          I hope that it can be possible.
          One of my sons is also in touch with Leon & hopes to visit with him. I can’t wait to read all you will send to Leon about the family.
          Love to all of you from us here in the U.S. -Pat

    I am Leons mother. I have always been very interested in Poland culture and history so I’m thrilled that my son and Alicia and family have met in person !!! I hope to meet you when you come to visit Leon in Florida..Busha & Jaja Symbal and my parents carried on many Polish traditions for which i am thankful for and George and I do many of them also. It’s most gratifying that Leon has met your/our family in Gdansk and then saw the area around the Tatra Mountains & Zokopane where my Dads family are from.. the pictures Leon took are a treasure as is the Blog also. I’m glad to read the comments also. Thank you to all who respond…
