Kowles and Crozier publish article in Polish newsletter

Dr. Dick Kowles, professor emeritus in Biology, and Dr. Bill Crozier, SMU archivist, have published an article in the Polish Genealogical Society of Minnesota Newsletter.

The title of the article is “Winona’s Kashubs, Kowalewskis, and the Hot Fish Shop.” Crozier wrote Part I, which discussed the early history and social development of the Polish Kashubs in Winona, and Kowles authored Part II, which focused on the Hot Fish Shop, a restaurant that became synonymous with Winona. Henry Kowalewski, an uncle of Kowles, founded the restaurant in 1931.

This is the second article that Kowles and Crozier have written for this Minnesota newsletter.
