Danielle Benson (Who currently lives in Hiawatha) has found this picture in one of the old houses there. She would like to know if anyone recognizes the children.

Hiawatha Guys Breakfast 20 Oct 2008
There were ten of us at breakfast this morning and as usual we had a good visit:
Paul Mecham, Dean Petrulas
Bob Wilde, Mike Manosakis
Archie McCarrie, Don Reaveley
Tom Neilson, Ken Allrerd
Mike Orphanakis ,Wally Baldwin
Paul brought a picture of several Hiawatha guys in a group photo and we tried to GUESS who they were. It was amazing we could identify any of them but I think after MUCH discussion we did figure out about half of them. The we talked about John Hartzell having his 90th birthday and several of the guys remembered him living in Greek Town. How could we not talk about deer hunting at this time of year. However the only one we knew that was gone because of the deer hunt was Glenn Davis. Good luck Glenn.
All in all we had a good time.

Obit for "Jiggs" Gigliotti
Jiggs Gigliotti
 |
PRICE - Franklin W. "Jiggs" Gigliotti, age 94, passed away peacefully on Sept. 28, 2008 in Price.
He was born Aug.14, 1914 in Hiawatha to Felice and Maria Concetta Perri-Gigliotti from Decalaturo, Calabria, Italy. He was married in Las Vegas, Nev., to Inez Thomas of Clear Creek, who died in 2003. Her family was from Magers, Greece.
Jiggs was best known for operating the Center Texaco Service on Carbon and Main in Price with his brother-in-law, Bill Thomas. Before that, he had worked as a bartender and truck driver in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Calif. From there, he returned to Carbon County working as a coal miner and later drove truck for Texaco. He then operated the Texaco bulk plant and was the Baroid distributor for the drilling fields.
As a teenager, he played an Italian waiter in the movie "Night Flyer."
Although he liked hunting, Frank's greatest love was fishing. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would spend time at the local fishing spots. In addition to fishing the local lakes and streams, he enjoyed deep sea fishing off the coast of Washington and in the Gulf of Mexico.
When not fishing or working, Frank would hang out in the local clubs and coffee shops. In addition to English, he spoke Italian, Spanish and some Greek, so he always had friends to visit with.
For many years, Frank was active in the Notre Dame Catholic parish, volunteering his time to put in the floors for Notre Dame High School, working the Catholic Carnival, and he always maintained the parish vehicles.
Survived by his sister, Emma Battagliotti, Ogden; son, Bill Gigliotti, Price; grandson, Derek (Mi-Kyung Kim) Gigliotti, Las Vegas, Nev. Preceded in death by his wife, Inez Gigliotti; and daughter, Debra Gigliotti-Barney
