    <p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">This story was received from Steve Sawicki, Jr.&nbsp;</font></p><p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">My Grandmother Gwozdz, the Karlon, and the Mega families grew up in the same part of town.&nbsp; William &quot;Hank&quot; was the best man for his brother, Adam, who married Josephine Gwozdz, my grandmother&#39;s sister.&nbsp; I have not researched this branch.&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">&nbsp;I do not remember Hank,&nbsp;just the stories.&nbsp; He was a good ball player with the Springfield Giants at Pynchon Park.&nbsp; In 1930 he signed with the NYY, was called up and played with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.&nbsp; My mom had a pic of him in a Yankee uniform that I can&#39;t find.&nbsp; I have attached in my tree a recent headstone and blow up mug-shot picture.</font></p>
