Viroqua High School Boxing 1948-1949

After a hiatus due to World War II, my grandfather, Leonard Albin Szudy, received his bachelor’s degree from Ripon College. Following this, he went into teaching. His first teaching job was at Viroqua High School in Viroqua, Wisconsin, where he taught social studies from 1947-1950. During his time in Viroqua, he also coached the high school boxing team–an unsurprising move for him, given his boxing background. You can find his coaching journal for the 1948 and 1949 seasons here.

Welcome to our updated site

Szudy.com has been around for many years as two separate pieces: 1) a blog that I stopped maintaining about 7 years ago and 2) family trees for me and for Jodie (my wife, and also her own person). I recently decided to blow up the old site and start afresh. This is partially for ease of maintenance and partially for the sake of integration. As I find interesting tidbits of family history, I will try to share them in the blog, linking to the genealogy portion of the site.

More content will be coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to peruse the genealogy portion of the site. Please forgive the messiness while I work out the kinks.
