THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BY SCONIERS' NIECE DURING HER APRIL 2009 VISIT TO POLAND. 

Sconiers' niece Pamela and her husband Richard were accompanied by Everett and Ann Richards of Elba, AL. Ann is the friend who encouraged Pamela to "Google" Ewart Sconiers' name. Ann also is a distant cousin of Pam and Ewart. The group was hosted by Stephen Marks (see "with gratitude" and "66 years ago" pages).
