Hi! It's Joanne , second daughter of Steve. I'm married to Terry Samchyk. Thank you to Ainsley for taking my picture!! We live in Coronach Sk. (still waiting for that visit, Uncle Mel !!). Terry works for Sask Power and I manage the grocery Department @ the Coronach Co-op. We have 3 children who are not so childish anymore!! Stephen, born in 1976, lives in Regina with his girlfriend Tera Lynch and dalmatian "Jake", on Lindsay Ave (not far from Wade or Uncle Mel). Both Stephen and Tera are employed with the Regina Health District at the Pasqua and General hospitals as L.P.N.s. My daughter Tara (born in 1980) is married to Jeff Totton. They live in Edmonton where Tara is employed with MIC as an Xray Technologist. Jeff is a Mechanical Engineer and he works for General Electric. They also have a puppy named Lily, according to Tara she's the cutest puppy in the world! Danny(born in 1983) attended the reunion with "Louie"(his puppy). He lives in Regina in the cathedral area on Queen Street. He is currently working in the film industry as a T.A.D.(Training Assistant Director).
Terry and I had a GREAT time last weekend, we especially want to thank Aunt Helen for planning and organizing the day. The food was terrific!! We couldn't have ordered more perfect weather. Thanks Donna for posting my pics, hope everyone enjoys them. I'm anxious to see what everyone else has to say.

Zalapski Family Reunion 2007

On June 16, 2007, the Zalapski family gathered for a reunion. The party was held at the home of Helen Dumonski (nee Zalapski), in Kamsack SK.

Four generations were in attendance from as far east as Toronto Ontario, and as far west as Jasper Alberta. They ranged in age from 7 months to 87 years of age.
