Tom Martin with Antoni Skeilnik in a salute to Casimir Pulaski. Toni, from Poland who lives with is wife Betty here, gave a toast to his namesake country-man, American Revolutionary hero, Casimir Pulaski.  Toni had his diesel repair shop here in Mt. Pulaski for many years, employing half-dozen or more workers.  He also taught diesel mechanics classes upstairs over his shop.  Toni invented and sold a part for diesel engines.  Toni is wearing a tie that his brother, who still lives in Poland, gave him.  The tie is one that is worn by Polish Government Senators.
