Our March 24, Palm Sunday begins the start of Holy Week for many faiths and observances continuing through Good Friday, with anticipation of Easter Sunday on March 31.

The early March 2024 garden of Chester Potempa includes rows of “volunteer” green onions, a return eatable investment even prior to spring planting.

Earlier this month, Brian, whose late parents Don and Shirley Capouch were dedicated fellow members of our tiny All Saints Catholic Church in San Pierre, planted nearly 100 pounds of potatoes, with varieties including Kennebec, Norland and Yukon Gold, in his vast garden patch at Sunny Crest Farm. “It was a moment that completely changed the course of my life. I bought Sunny Crest Farm later that day. It is a homestead just north of Raub, Indiana. Designed and built in 1916 by architect Fred Friedline for Josiah and Stella Portteus, it had been abandoned. The main house is almost 6,000 square feet and had its own electric plant and an elaborate rainwater collection system. And our own family homestead, where my grandmother was born, is just over a mile away.

The name “Hank Blaszczyk,” defined in my mind, is the fun-loving, fishing, talkative late Uncle Hank I so fondly cherish my memories of from his more than 60 years of marriage to my mom Peggy’s twin sister, my Aunt Patty, who died at age 91 a year ago on Feb. 21.“The context of my question about Hank Blaszczyk is because a group of us were discussing how folks from the North Judson and San Pierre area came to the ‘Gifford Marsh’ area back in the 30s and 40s,” Brian explained.

Hank and Patty married in July 1951 and originally started married life in a small trailer parked behind the main house of the farm where in-laws Stanely and Helen Blaszczyk lived, and my dad confirms this as the location described by Brian’s friend.
