My banner here is a photo of my grandfather from the 1930s. He immigrated “legally” from Poland at the age of 14. He came through Ellis Island and his name is on the wall there. His name was Gorny but they added an “e” during immigration to make it less “polish”. My dad was a first generation born from an immigrant. My grandfather was injured on the job at Crucible Steel in Syracuse, NY and they paid him a settlement which he used to buy a dairy farm in Otisco NY. So that is the genesis of our family’s story. It is programmed and ingrained into who I am, now at the age of 66. I visited Otisco with my older sister last Sunday. It was very grounding.
