Kaczmarek, Leon & Lil (Silver – Sep 1973)

On Sunday, September 2, 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Kaczmarek were the guests of honor at a party hosted by their family in honor of their 25th Wedding Anniversary. The anniversary cake, which adorned the tale, was one of the lovely gifts they received for the occasion. They were also the recipients of a corsage and boutonniere, as were the members of the original wedding party in attendance for the occasion.

Saturday evening, several friends of Leon and Lil surprised them with a mock wedding. Music was provided by Marion Sciezor and his Orchestra.

Lil Teclaw and Leon Kaczmarek were united in marriage by the Reverend Francis Piekarski on September 1, 1948 at St. Hedwig’s Church. Members of the original wedding party were Marcie (Kinas) McIllrath, Malen Teclaw, Angeline Teclaw, Leon Pawlak, Dorothy (Kaczmarek) Klicz, Marion Teclaw, Pat (Kinas) Braun, Ed Nieman, Donna (La Flex) Teclaw, Ray Giwojna, Babe (Kinas) Matzinger, Ray Teclaw, and Marcie (Teclaw) Szymanski.
