My husband's cousins all belonged to a Polish Falcon's Club in N.J.
They went to all the polka dances, etc.

People here in Vermont would travel to Massachusetts to polka with someone's band......can't remember his last name........Jimmy something or other????

We never learned to polka in the 1960's but my mom could. Ditto for my mother in law.
Where in Vermont are you from? My father was born in Bellows Falls, and my "Uncle" would always travel the few miles to go to Polka parties in Massachusetts until a couple of years ago. I can still remember the Polish Picnics in Bellows Falls, that we would travel to from Connecticut every year.

BTW - From the responses to your thread, it looks like a few of us still appreciate, and respect our Polish heritage.
