Edward Kedzior Short Snorter

On Father's Day, June 21, 2009, the Tulsa World ran a story about a man named Ed Kedzior and his dollar bill. No ordinary

the neighboring farms as unpaid workers. After the war, his family met some GIs at a displaced persons camp. The GIs

States by signing their names on a dollar bill to be used as references for immigration officials. Read the whole story...
