Notes

Waldemar's early years were spent growing up in Logansport, In. In his teen years, he moved with his family to Cleveland, Oh. Due to the depression Waldemar did not finish high school but instead worked to supplement the family income. Waldemar was nick named "Wad" at some point in his early years. Wad became interested in percussion instruments and played the drums and xylophone in his early adult years. Wad also became interested in short wave radio early in its infancy and built his own short wave radio with which he corresponded with other hams around the world. Due to his interest in radio and with family attachments in Defiance, Ohio Wad and his wife and son moved to Defiance as he took employment with a radio related industry which built parts for the radio industry. Wad worked for that company in various positions until they decided to move their business out of the country to Mexico. Wad was very active in his church and choir and enjoyed outside work at his home.
