Conversation with a priest in San Diego

Late last week (before the New Years Weekend), I finally had the chance to call John Hritzko, a Ukranian Catholic priest in San Diego, California. (His grandfather was the brother of Mary Hricko who was the mother of Peter Balash just to refresh the connection to all of us.)

John is a man of very few words, probably due to the fact that he doesn't know me from Adam. But I guess that's the price you pay when you cold-call someone for information about their family in this day and age.

He was able to give me some more names which I have to confirm through the internet databases. Steve Hricko in LA also gave me John's father's phone number in Minnesota. Thomas Hritzko, John's father, once I get a hold of him should be able to shed some light on the information that I got from John earlier.
