I am married to Charles Wadzinski's wife Millie's sister. I am doing genealogy for Charles' youngest daughter and came across your web site. It is a great site. Chuck would be proud of it if he were to see it.
He died 30 Jan 2001 in Elk Grove Village, Elmhurst, IL. His wife Millie died 11 Mar 2002. Chuck died of Lung Cancer and his wife died from TIAs. They had four children. Three girls and a boy. They are all alive.

I was the friendly enlisted man in the Supply Room and Tool Room in the 524th. You may also remember me as the Brooklyn kid who car-pooled with Sal Stassi. Remember our days at Barton Springs and the NCO club?
Have been in touch with Tom DeLuccie who you can contact at TDeLucci@mail.win.org. I am looking to get in touch with Sal Stassi, John Collin. Tom D informs me that Duke Greer can be contacted at irdukee@aol.com regarding a reunion in Austin in September, 2003. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who remembers me. Toby
