Fantastic journey back in time. My dad, Zajeski ,with the even though name at Notre Dame, has been gone more than 20 years and he never had a chance to tell us his stories . This felt like a glimpse into Chicago south side life in the 50s that holds universally true and certainly explains the values by which we were raised and the thrill of life that was passed down to our generation. Thank you.
