Stella
Majecki Zukowski MEMORIES
My mother Stella was a very special
lady and always had encouraging words not only for me but for everyone she
met.
My first serious memory of a discussion I had with her was when I
was four years old during the WWII war years.
I can still see us standing
in the hall bathroom on the third floor of 1242 Pinchot Pl. Bronx, NY.
I was dressed in my favorite Navy uniform with my white sailor cap and mom was
explaining the very serious rubber need for the war drive and the need for everyone to make
a sacrifice to help win the war.
Asking how I could help, she explained
my rubber pacifier would help win the war. Wait a minute, my most
favorite 4 year old friend could help win the war? Ouch, this would be
difficult, but winning the war had to be done, so reluctantly, I pulled it from
my lips handed it to mom and we won the war over Europe a few months later in
1943. I was so proud helping to win the war.
