 The
pallbearers bring the sledz [herring] into the hall, beginning
the annual Mardi Gras pageant of the Chicago Society. Pictured (l. to
r.) are Jack Skaja, Start Goldman, Conrad Miczko (hidden behind the sledz)
and Roman "Pete" Piotrowski. |
 The
cast of the Sledz pageant gather in all their glory (and newly
acquired costumes) to receive the applause of the audience. |
 Ted
Lipkowski (center), Sledz Chairman, smiles happily as the dinner
is about to be served. |
 Happy
revelers: (l. to r.) Barbara Stankiewicz, Henryk Stankiewicz, Maria
Ciesla, Teresa Skawski and Marian Skawski. |
 Former
Alderman Carole Bialczak and husband, Stu Goldman, bump heads for the
photographer, apparently unaware of wide angle lenses. |
 One
serious member, one happy member, one member looking at the floor ...
and someone's wife stealing the flowers from the table. |
 Still
smiling ... but getting anxious for the photographer to leave so they
can enjoy the last big meal before the start of Lent |
What can you say ... Great photo ... really phony smiles. |
 An
overview of the hall at the Orbit Banquet Hall, made better by the fact
that only the back of the webmaster's head is visible at this angle. |
 Enjoying
the party were (l. to r.) Jack Skaja, Chris Matuszczak, Barbara Skaja,
Teresa Wojciechowski, John Wojciechowski and Ro Matuszczak. |
 So,
okay, some members go a little overboard with this Mardi Gras thing ...
Actually, it's Conrad Miczko, who never looked better. |
 Ted
Lipkowski (center), Sledz Chairman, was crowned as the Chicago Society's
St. Joseph for 2002, by last year's St. Joe, Ed Pilarski (left). Ro
Matuszczak is at right.
