There is an egregious error in the entry for my childhood pal, Moe Drabowsky. Moe was of Polish birth but was not Jewish. The Drabowskys lived 4 or 5 houses up Barber street from the Bradleys (my family) in Wilson, CT. Moe and I attended the same grade school - Roger Walcott - through 8th grade. Moe went on to the Loomis School (it did not become Loomis-Chaffee until it merged with the named girls' school some years later). I went to Windsor High, but we reunited at Trinity four years later. We were both day students, or "brown baggers." He generally drove me to classes daily, as I didn't have a car. Moe in fact was the star pitcher for the St. Gertrude's CYO -Catholic Youth Oganization -team during high school summers. I was the first baseman on that team The claim to Jewish origin is probably based on a guess that the name "Moe" with a surname ending in "sky" indicated a Jewish provenance. In fact, we kids called him "Myrie" and his dad called him something that sounded to me like "Mierko." The "Moe" was hung on him by the long-time coach at Loomis, Ralph Erickson. I don't think that Moe was a particularly devout Catholic, but he certainly wasn't Jewish. Ebrad46 (talk) 16:15, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
