Hi Joe:)
There was a Halas family in the
Burg area. I don't know if they were related to Papa Bear or if that name is common in Greece:)
Mack, now that you mentioned it I remember that name. There was also a family named Halak who lived in South Trenton, I believe my dad was friends with them. Small world.
