Brigid and I went to the annual K of C dinner on Thursday, with John Sekelsky honored as the Man of the Year.
John was born in 1923, had five children and seems to have lived in Croton forever. He made a living as an artist and graphic designer, and has always had a quick wit and sparkling personality, while being self-effacing.
You would never know he flew 28 missions over Germany in WW II, as a radio operator on a B-17. A real American hero.
Here are some pictures from the dinner.
Adam Rodriguez, the Grand Knight of our Council, made the presentation.
A lovely evening.
John Sekelsky is one of a kind. He enriches our Croton community in countless ways - may he do so for many, many more years! Love you, John.
