The Adventures of a Young Savage
And his mild-mannered pseudonym, Benjamin Jancewicz
Over Christmas 2007, we got to journey up to Connecticut to visit home. My grandfather Edward Jancewicz (Jaju) had recently taken a fall, and was in a recovery center.
He hadn’t been in high spirits, but when Nya came to visit him, he lit right up. My favourite photo is when my dad was swinging Nya in front of Jaju; every time she got really close they both burst into laughter.
Babchi (Martha Jancewicz, my grandmother) seemed so proud to hold her!
Martha Jancewicz, 83, of Norwich, rides her toboggan down a hill off the first tee of the Norwich Municipal Golf Course on Thursday. Jancewicz takes to the slopes several times a winter when snowfall permits, for some sledding fun aboard a vintage wooden toboggan that she estimates to be 50 years old.“My kids rode on it, my grandkids rode on it,” she says.
That’s my grandmother for you. You may remember her other article.
