Friday, 16 January 09Some facts that might help your research:  Former Brothers Joseph Dudek, Joseph Chvala, Eduardo, John Kuhn, James Bluma now live here at ND.The '1959 yearbook was the last for several years when the book was resumed under Br. Donald Stabrowski (now at Univ. of Portland).  There was a 50thJubilee book published in '61 with some interesting pictures, but it was not a yearbook as such.There were two histories of the school written in English:  a master's thesis by Br.Eduardo, and '61 anniversary written by Br. Theophilus.  These are availablein the Midwest Province Archives.   There are lots of pictures and yearbooks (both school and parish) housed in these archives.  Your best access to thismaterial is through the archivist Br. Lawrence Stewart, and the best time is when you can come to town an spend several days working in the archives.Br. Wilbert Leveling is the assistant archivist.  Probably your best access is an arrangement worked out with Br. Lawrence.  (I am no longer working inthe archives.)If you know specifically what you are looking for, then the archivist can be of the greatest help to you.Give me a call when you are ready to begin and let me know what your needs will be.                         [574] 251-2218  and  jkuhn@holycrossvillage.net.Brother Roy Smith is our development director, who works here at Holy Cross Village, and can be of great help to you, especially when it is necessary toidentify  or locate former alumni.   Joseph Nieminski '55 (I think) worked on the '61 Jubilee Book and can be of artistic help.  It is he who has madethe portraits of the former principals that hang in the auditorium lobby.He (and others) might be of great assistance in planning a jubilee book (if there is to be a book).  Joe is a graduate of the Art Institute.All of the above is off the top of my head.  For specific information, give me a call.
