Kashubian Cemetry Gates
all those people, all those lives, where are they now?

Gravely read the stones
This blog exists to celebrate the Kashubian American families of Winona, MN and Pine Creek, WI. No mere rock with names and dates engraved upon it can capture the loves, and hates, and passions of the separate lives my Lisa and I lived, or of the twenty-one joyous years we spent together. Multiply this experience by the number of those buried at St. Mary's Cemetery and the result is a universe - a Spoon River of lives to sample and explore as best we can. And now, in the autumn of my life, I feel called on to share their stories as best I can.
May the shade of Edgar Lee Masters forgive me.
