Jim, There was a family named Lapinski that lived in the Greenwood section of Scranton (possibly Moosic) in the late 1950s. The 1200 block of Prospect Avenue would be out in that direction. These Lapinskis belonged to St. Stanislaus Polish National Catholic Church and, I believe, their name was Wapinski, as far as the church was concerned. They were friends of a friend of mine, so I'm not sure, but John Lapinski (would have been born about 1942 or 1943) was known at the church as "Wappie". You might want to check out that church's records.
