Hi,
Yep I called you last fall but didn't hear back. You are in Lemont I think. I'm your neighbor in Woodridge. :)
Got your number through my dad, Tom Holik, who got it from LeRoy. I saw LeRoy at my uncle Rich Holik's funeral Jan 2007. Shoot me an email if you want. I got James's IDPF from the army and have lots of old photos of the Holik and Privoznik families.

In the spring semester of my junior year at Miami of Ohio, 1982, I studied in Luxembourg. I rode the bus from the city out to near the airport where the American Battle of the Bulge Cemetery sits in reverent silence. Working through the birch trees I came upon the cemetery from the back and took a picture. All these years later I scanned some old slides. Zooming in I can see your uncle's marker. I'll see if I can send you the picture.
