Joseph Fetko - 1942 South Philadelphia High School

The 1942 South Philadelphia high school yearbook photo of Joseph Fetko. Next to his name it reads:

Joseph Fetko - 400 Catherine Street - Machine Contstruction.

"Whity" nearly forfeited his life when he took out Hagan's girl. For, whom should he sit next to in the strength of materials class, but Hagan himself. When "Whity's" jaw was healed in the spring, he came back to class. Besides going out with Hagan's girl, Joe has taken part in intersectional sports at Southern.

His ambition is to be a boxer. Don't ever get in the ring with Hagan, "me" lad.

Date & Place: 1942 at South Philadelphia High School 2101 S Broad St, in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania 19148, United States

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
