Prohibition to War, Part 3 of 4
In this continuing series, we are recalling memories of the late Joe Tanzosh, who experienced Prohibition, the Depression and World War II. In 1940, Joe was a student at Northampton High School. He played baseball for the high school during his junior and senior years. Joe remembers, “I didn’t have a glove, so Coach Lisetski gave me one of his old gloves. Mr. Lisetski was a great shortstop for the semipro Northampton Buffalos when he graduated from Northampton High School. Coach Lisetski and my Coplay Legion mentor Sammy Balliet were the great-
est coaches and men I ever met. I admired them. They were like fathers to me since they knew my father was deceased.” Joe’s father was lost in an industrial accident at the old National Cement plant. While in high school, Joe worked as an usher at the Ritz Theater in Coplay. As he walked up Ninth Street to his Washington Avenue home, he was stopped by a neighbor and given shocking information. “Joe, get home right away. Your father was killed at the cement plant.” Continued on page 5
