My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from. Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!

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.

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.

Inspirational letter submitted to “My Mesa Story.”
Mesa College has always been close to my heart as all four members of my family have attended this excellent school. My first visit to Mesa College was in 1968.
I was a freshly minted driver at sixteen and drove my mother to the school for classes. My Mother Libera Smiechowski lived through the Normandy Invasion but not without great suffering. Bombs rained on her house and bodies fell from the sky in the seaport city of Le Havre, France. She contacted tuberculosis and was hospitalized in grave condition. When the war ended, she married my father and came to America without even a high school education. It was at Clairemont adult school where she earned her diploma in 1967.
The following year she began studies at Mesa College where she graduated with highest honors. With her newly earned Associates Degree she commenced studies at UCSD where again she graduated with highest honors. Coincidentally, the wife of famed philosopher Herbert Marcuse who had contacted my father on the Vietnam War issue was also French and taught at this great University. Soon afterward, she enrolled at SDSU where again she earned a master's degree with highest honors.
In 1975 she began to teach at Mesa College as a French Instructor and sat on the Faculty Senate. During this period, she enrolled at UCLA under a doctorate program. My Mother spoke five languages fluently, played the cello in the Catholic Church, was an accomplished swimmer and very athletic, modeled professionally for The Milwaukee Journal—Sentinel and was deemed a genius by her peers. She had co-produced professional education material that was recorded at San Diego City College. Her beautiful voice is still remembered by my high school friends today as she often would cook us the most delicious crepes.
On December 08, 1978, months shy of attaining her PhD she passed away from a brain tumor. That is my mother. Daniel J. Smiechowski xxx xxx xxxx
