Pope John Paul II was honored today by a wreath placed by the Thaddeus Kosciuszko monument on the Kosciusko County courthouse lawn. Ken Locke compared the contributions to freedom between the Pope and Kosciuszko. Waclaw 'Adam' Adamczyk, a native of Poland, told of meeting the Pope and his importance to Poland. Msgr. James Wolf, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, gave the closing blessing. Pictured at the monument are (L to R): Adamczyk, holding the Polish flag with the Eagle that represents someone who lives outside of Poland, and his wife, Maria, in native Polish costume; Msgr. Wolf; and Locke. Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union[[In-content Ad]]
