More bio information[edit]

There is a more thoroughgoing bio in the Polish Wikipedia: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadeusz_Adamowski. I hope somebody who reads Polish can translate and draw some of that information into the English-language article here. As it happens, I knew Adamowski as well as his sister Helenka Pantaleoni, as friends of our extended family. When I knew Tad he was employed in the UN in New York (1960's-1970's). I also drew the link between their bios here in WP, as it had not been made before. I also know a thing or two about his service (capture, escape, and rescue by the U.S. in Italy) during the War. But I cannot document those, and I'm not sure what's in the Polish bio about this.~Mack2~ (talk) 04:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also note: there is a longer bio (in Polish) provided by the Polish Olympic Committee here: http://www.pkol.pl/pl/subpages/displayfid/294_1016.html ~Mack2~ (talk) 05:35, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Too bad he didn't manage to popularize American football in Poland. That would've been something.radek (talk) 00:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When I first met him he was in his mid-60's and still in incredible shape. Once went to his UN office. He would ride his motorcycle up to Westchester Cty where my inlaws lived.~Mack2~ (talk) 05:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
