--BOOK TITLE by The Distinguished Author's Name

The 1951 city directory shows who may have lived in the houses shown in the snowstorm picture:

1226 Umerley Leo J jr
1226 Walczesky Edw
1230 Andreasik Louis J
1230 Kimall Richd C (this should really be Richard KIMBALL)
1302 Chmura Bernard S
1302 Dzierzawski Theo H

One has to assume that the snow shovelers were probably residents of those houses since they were obviously trying to dig out that buried car.

I know nothing about Umerley.

Walczesky was married to a Czarnecki, though I'm not sure if she was related to the Czarnecki's on W.13th street or not. If so, there were plenty of Czarnecki boys to lend a hand.

Andreasik would have been 48 in 1950 and none of the shovelers look that old. Same with Kimball (they misspelled his name in the city directory) -- he was 47. He happened to die just a few months later of a heart attack, so I wonder if he would have even attempted to shovel snow if he knew he had heart problems?

Bernard Chmura was 26 and very likely one of the guys out there. Right age.

So somewhere in the above information is likely the answer. Maybe one day someone from those families will stumble across the pictures and recognize the faces and write to me. We can only hope.....  :)
