Brothers Blamick: A Family That Serves

Through 2002 in McKeesport Lodge No. 641, Brothers Blamick occupied the stations in the East, West, and South. On Dec. 27, Mark D. Blamick, then-W.M. (center), became a P.M., succeeded by his father, Joseph E., then-S.W. (left), a 50-year member. Bro. Mark's uncle, Robert S. Blamick, was the J.W. The three Blamicks served their country as well: Mark, in the Army occupational forces in Germany; Robert, first as a civilian repairing ships at Pearl Harbor, then in an Army chemical mortar battalion in W.W. II; and Joseph, in the Navy aboard a cruiser in the South Pacific.
