Uncle Al worked for Studebakers for over 30 years. When the compamy moved out Al recieved a check for about $80 in full payment of his pension benefit.

Notes for SOPHIE PIECHOROWSKI:
[Piech~52.ftw]

Oral History  Jim Piechorowski

Before Sophie married Uncle Al in 1929 she had spent four years studying to become a Holy Cross Nun. She did not take her final vows. Sophie was an expert seamstress at Notre Dame sewing the vestments for the preist's.

Sophie was also an expert baker and as a child she would babysit for me when my father Frank A., had meetings to attend in the evenings. She also had a habit of using large quantiteis of "Moth Balls" to sanitise her house. The sent of these Moth Balls impregnated the flour she baked with and we all remember joking about " Aunt Sophies's Moth Ball Cookies"

South Bend dentist who practiced with twin brother dies at 81

Tribune Staff Report

SOUTH BEND -- Dentist Joseph E. Hecklinski Jr., who practiced with his twin brother for three decades, died Tuesday in Memorial Hospital. He was 81.

Joseph and Ernest Hecklinski went to the same high school, university and dental school before opening a joint dental practice in 1955.

Both attended Indiana University on basketball scholarships and interrupted their academic careers to serve as Navy dental technicians in the South Pacific during World War II.

The twins later moved their practice to the Marycrest Building on Western Avenue, where they served thousands of local residents. Ernest died in 1990.

Their offices in Marycrest were mirror images, as one of the brothers was left-handed and the other right-handed.

Joseph Hecklinski, a retired lieutenant commander in the Navy, was a founding member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, where he coached basketball for 15 years.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. today in St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, St. Johns Way, South Bend, with burial at St. Joseph Cemetery.
