Dziadzia is Polish for "grandfather." I had two of them, but only one, Richard Basiaga, had that nickname. He was a blue-eyed rascal of a man who drank some of his dinners. My first memory is of being in his big Cadillac, getting candy in Camden and later getting greasy at his radiator shop there. When he died, I was just a toddler, and apparently pulled all my hair out in protest because I loved him so much.
