I’ve started to add photo albums to the site.
Here is an album of pictures of Dad as a baby or toddler.

Frank Placek, Jr. – Naturalization Petition
Found in the documents of Harold and Olive Placek
Frank, Jr. was born in the Czech Republic and arrived in the United States at not quite six months of age. He was already a married father when he applied for naturalization.
Dad and Peggy in Brazil
When Dad and Peggy were married they sponsored a child through the Christian Children’s Fund. This child was in Brazil. Unlike most monthly donors, they decided to go meet the child and see what the charity was doing. These pictures are from the trip and are part of a photo album that Peggy put together. Dad supported CCF up to the time of his death.
Bob Placek – High School Graduation
New Smyrna Beach High School
Class of 1956
Voted “Most Intellectual” with Christina Bogdon
Bob’s Second Grade Class Photo
In rural Racine County, Bob attended the Beebe School located in what is now Elmwood Park, WI. This class photo would have put him in second grade.
Rose Krsek’s Confirmation Gift
Confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church in 1915, Rose Krsek (future wife of Frank Placek, Jr.) received this gift.
Bob as a Young Boy
This photo came from the Faulkner street house. The date is unknown but certainly in the 1940s.
