I was born on a Thursday at 6 PM in the Oil City Hospital on December 15^th, 1938 to Martha Walentowski Pilewski and John Walter Pilewski. My mother told me years later that I had been born with a caul. Some cultures and traditions believe that being born en caul is seen as a sign of good luck for both baby and parents.

My brother John was the first born, then me, then my brother Walter, my brother Jerome, and then my sister Julie Ann.

Our family lived in the Polish community in my maternal grandfather George Walentowski’s large house on a hilltop in Oil City, Pennsylvania in the Polish neighborhood. Our house bordered on the woods and we kids spent our free time playing there.

My Dad worked as traffic manager in an office at the Oil City Glass Bottle Company. My mother had worked as a secretary for the Continental Refining Company. They both had attended Welch’s Business College in Oil City.

I attended the Assumption B.V.M. Polish-American Grade School and was an altar boy and sang in the choir. The Mass was in Latin and the hymns were in Polish. When I was 12 years old I, joined the Boy Scouts and reached the rank of Star.

I attended St. Joseph Irish-American High School and while there: sang in the Gregorian Chant choir, competed in oratory contests, worked on the student newspaper, and was co-editor of the yearbook. In my sophomore year, I left the Boy Scouts and joined the Civil Air Patrol and the Junior American Red Cross.
While in the Civil Air Patrol, I reached the rank of sergeant and became the unit’s adjutant because I could type (I had sat in on a typing course in high school and took a Summer course in typing at the public high school). My high school buddy, Richard Wromble, and I attended the Summer Civil Air Patrol program at Olmsted Air Force Base in Harriburg, Pennsylvania.
We flew down from Pittsburgh to Harriburg in an old WW II bomber and wore parachutes. At the base we lived in a barracks, attended classes and marched.

While in high school, I had a job at Wallace’s Book Store, cleaning up and delivering books. Later I worked as an usher at the Latonia Theater in Oil City. As an usher, I was able to see many, many movies for free.

My father died when I was a senior in high school. There was no money for college so I did the paperwork for enlisting in the U.S. Navy. I wanted to be a Pharmacist’s Mate on a submarine.

I had just about completed my induction into the Navy when I was awarded the Eckerd Drug Scholarship to Pharmacy School at the University of Pittsburgh. When I told the Navy recruiter, he tore up the recruitment contract, threw the pieces into the wastebasket and said, “Go to college, Kid, go to college” and I did and stayed and stayed.

At the University of Pittsburgh I worked as an undergraduate laboratory assistant in the Microbiology and Pharmacognosy Laboratories.

In 1961 I graduated with a B.S. degree in Pharmacy and a few months later I became a Registered Pharmacist in Pennsylvania.

From 1961-1963 I did research on False-Positive Alkaloid Reactions, Phytochemical Screening of Paronychia argentea (Algerian Tea), and the Isolation of the Alkaloids of Catharanthus lanceus.

In 1963 I earned a Master of Science in Pharmacognosy and transferred to the Ohio State University (OSU) to work on a Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy. I had a research fellowship at OSU and also, once I became a licensed pharmacist in Ohio, I worked in retail pharmacies to pay expenses.

In 1964 I married Charlotte Marie Kersavage whom I met while at the University of Pittsburgh and who was attending Nurses’ Training at St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh. Our son, Michael and daughter, Kathleen were both born while we lived in Columbus, Ohio.

In 1967 I graduated from OSU with a Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy. I had isolated codonocarpine, a member of an entirely new class of alkaloids from the bark of the Australian Bell Fruit Tree, Codonocarpus australis.

In 1967 we moved to Pittsburgh and I accepted a position as assistant Professor of Pharmacognosy at Duquesne University. I would teach there for 40 years.

While at Duquesne, I founded the Medical Microbiology and Pharmacognosy undergraduate Lectures & Laboratories as well as lecture courses in Alternative/Complementary Therapies, Herbal Remedies, Toxins & Venoms, and History of Pharmacy.

In 1967 my pharmacy class size was 30 students for required courses. Over the years the class size kept increasing so that by 2005 my class size for required courses was 180 students. This kept me very busy.

Our daughter, Kathleen and our son, Michael, attended St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin grade school. Michael was in the Cub Scout Pack there and I was the Webelos Scout Leader. Later Mike joined Boy Scout Troop 276 at a nearby Protestant Church. I drove Mike to the meetings and became Assistant Scoutmaster then later I became Scoutmaster. Over the years, I served as Roundtable Commissioner, Unit Commissioner, Camping Committee member, and finally as Campmaster at Camp Guyasuta. I was in Scouting for 50 years and was awarded The Silver Beaver, Ph.D. from Commissioners College, Wood Badge the Order-of-the-Arrow Vigil Honor, the St. George Medal, the St. Joan of Arc Medal, the Bronze Pelican Medal, and the 50-Year Veteran Pin.

In 1994, I was awarded the ODK Duquesne University Teacher of the Year Award.

Each year, from 1995 to 2000, and in 2002 (in 2001 I was in Poland) I brought Duquesne University pharmacy and pre-medical students to the Ix Chel Tropical research Station in the foothills of the Maya Mountains of Belize for one-week of classes on Mayan herbal medicine taught by Dr. Rosita Arvigo

In 2001, I was awarded the 1^st ever Pharmacy Fulbright Grant to Poland for February to June at the Collegium Medicum of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. I was able to give guest lectures at Colleges of Pharmacy in: Krakow (Jagiellonian University), Gdansk (Medical University), Lublin (Catholic University), Wroclaw (Medical University), and Poznan (Karol Marcinkowski University of Medical Sciences

Over the years, I was able to travel on travel grants from the German government to Hamburg, Lambrecht, Bonn, West Berlin and East Berlin when The Wall was up. I was also able to attend the Goethe Institute in Staufen im Breisgau in the Black Forest.

I was also able to teach Duquesne Pharmacy and Nursing students in two Summer School Sessions at the Monchsberg Academy in Salzburg, Austria.

This picture shows “The Point” where the 3 rivers come together (Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers) and the downtown area of Pittsburgh.  We live 3 miles away and to the right of the photograph, in the South Hills.  Duquesne University is located on a hill about 1/4 mile from The Point overlooking the Monongahela River.

Hi Slawek,

First Neil sent an email to Norb, Norb answered, and after a few back-and-forth emails, we met at our Eat-N’-Park restaurant in the South Hills of Pittsburgh (Neil and his Father live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh).


Neil is 31, married, and has 2 little girls named Madison and Amelia. 
His wife is pregnant, due in July, and he's hoping for a boy. 
He is a financial advisor, helping people secure loans at a business on Stanwix Street downtown Pittsburgh. 
They live in Shaler Township, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Neil has twin sisters, Natalie and Nicole. 
Nicole plays volleyball!! 
Neil went to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. 
He was very enthusiastic about the Pilewski family history and Poland.   
He found Slawek’s information on the internet, contacted him and got Norbert’s email. 
Both Neil and his Dad, Tony, are planning to go to Poland, maybe next year, and they hope to meet Slawek.

  An interesting note: in the 1980s, Charlotte had seen Neil’s grandfather's name (Tony’s father) on a hospital order form when she worked as a pharmacist at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh.  [Charlotte is both a Nurse and a Pharmacist.] Charlotte went to Neil's grandpa's room and introduced herself.
Later Norbert came to the hospital and met Neil's grandpa also! Neil’s grandpa was a Pittsburgh PAT (Port Authority Transit) bus driver.
So there we were, in the restaurant, 30 years later, talking about it!
This man  (Neil’s Grandpa) passed away in 1997.

  We were glad that our son, Michael, was here from Germany visiting us and could meet Neil and his father. Together they were able to fill in some missing blanks in Mike's genealogy research.

  Wszystkiego najlepszego,

Norb


Hi Family,
We had lunch at Eat-N’-Park today with Neil Pilewski and his father, Tony Pilewski.   We are related!   Neil contacted us.   He has been reading Slawek’s computer posts about our ancestors in Poland. Neil has two little girls and his wife is expecting. Their great grandparents settled in Pittsburgh.   Neil’s father and grandfather were both PAT bus drivers in Pittsburgh.   They live now in the North Hills.   Neil posts on Facebook.
All the best,
Norb



Norbert Pilewski with his Family
