The last scheduled meeting was with the Iwona Purzycka, Director of the Museum of Bielsko-Biała and related scholars. The three hour meeting began with Marcin Chumiecki reviewing the Polish Mission presentation and showcasing the holdings of the Galeria and Museums. Ceil shared the need for Americans in general, and Polish descendants in particular, to learn the past and current history of Poland and understand the Polish influence in the U.S.
We met the director who is skilled at reading the Gothic church records. He enjoys genealogical research when he is not working on his professional assignments.
