FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Art Saved Detroit's Paint by Number Artist from Death in Nazi Concentration Camps ORCHARD LAKE, Michigan (August 14, 2009) - Baby Boomers remember Paint By Number kits under the Christmas tree during the 1950s. But how many know Detroiter Adam Grochowski, who created the canvases, was a Concentration Camp survivor? His life was spared by the Nazis in exchange for creating artwork for their girlfriends. Adam's story is a quiet testament to his Roman Catholic faith and the restorative power of the creative spirit. Imprisoned at the age of 18, he spent the war in two of the most infamous concentration camps, Auschwitz and Mauthausen; then five years in a displaced persons camp in Regensburg, Germany. The Polish Mission on the campus of Orchard Lake Schools will host an exhibit of his work presented by his widow Peggy Grant. It is part of "It All Began in Poland", a Commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Invasion of Poland this Labor Day weekend September 5-6, 2009. The event is designed to share Poland's history and the campus World War II museums with the citizens of Michigan. The Arts, including poetry, painting, music, dance, and sculpture, tell the story of Poland's suffering and strength during WWII. This project is funded in part by Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities; the guests of honor include the Polish Veterans, Polish Survivors, Children in Exile, and Displaced Persons. Thousands came to Michigan after the war to begin their lives anew. The community at large is invited to meet these eye witnesses of the war in Poland. Continuing Education Workshops for Middle and High School teachers will be held before the general sessions begin on Saturday and Sunday. We are honored to have Mrs. Barbara Klich-Kluczewska PhD Jagiellonian University- Institute of History (Krakow, Poland) and Mr. Zygmunt Matynia, Consul General of the Republic of Poland (Chicago) join us for the events on Saturday and Sunday. Throughout the weekend there will be ongoing activities including: "Batilion Burza" a living history re-enactment group, Assembling a "Time Capsule" - Collection of WWII and commemoration materials to be opened in 2039, the Time Capsule will be registered with the Smithsonian Institute.

The original Baptist church was in the basement of the Methodist Church in Dearborn where his 2nd wife Caroline Thompson Cochran Purdy was a member upstairs. I found where she had letters that she was leaving the Methodist Church to join the Baptist congregation. Those were in the records at the Historical Society in Deaborn DEATH NOTICE: Detroit Free Press, 14 Feb 1884 p. 3. PURDY, George, Death of a Dearborn Pioneer. Dearborn, Feb 13-George Purdy died here on Monday, aged 86 yrs. He moved to Dearborn in 1830, bought a farm three miles south of the village and settled upon it.

When I worked for the Mi Dept of Corrections, the middle two numbers were a further check that SSAN was a check of validity. Crooks didn't know the meaning of middle two's. If you aren't a youngster, this will work. If young, then no, it won't. I'm old, and for mem his will. Check the SSDI. -----Original Message----- From: miwayne-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:miwayne-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of bhurst1948@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 8:21 PM To: miwayne@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MIWAYNE] Social Security numbers Your social security number is made up of 3 parts called the AREA (XXX), GROUP (XX), and SERIAL(XXXX).
