She was a girl from Calumet, a friend to many, loved by her family. Christine Gasvoda, the first woman from the U.P. to give her life in World War II, the subject of today's Pasty Cameo. By Helen Marie Chamberlain (Helen) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 09:40 am: Thank you, Charlie and Larry, for this well done piece of history that I'm sure few knew anything about. It gave me "pause". By RD, Iowa (Rdiowa) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 10:13 am: Was this the same Gasvoda's who had the grocery store on Oak Street? By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 10:16 am: That was a very interesting cameo, Charlie. Thank you. I enjoyed it very much. By Anita Marsy-Bosley (Anitamb) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 11:31 am: 63 years ago.......today we remember a brave woman. May she rest in peace. I love these cameos, they remind us of things that need to be remembered. By David J. Whitten (Djwhitten) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 11:42 am:
Amazing Charlie. Thanks so much for sharing this story. By Daveofmohawk (Daveofmohawk) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 11:54 am: What a touching story about Christine Gasvoda. I grew up a block off of oak street. I wonder if Christine Gasvoda was any relation to Chuck Gasvoda of Chassell; he used to live on oak st. in Calumet? Also Al and Mary Gasvoda [brother and sister] owned and operated Lud's store on oak st. across from the train station which was directly behind St. Joseph's Church. By Heikki (Heikki) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 12:46 pm: Great cameo, Charlie. Christine was one of many who got caught up in the 'mother of all wars', served her country in ways few can imagine, and gave her all. God rest her soul. Being a WWII buff, the U.P.'s contributions in treasure and blood during that dark time in history has always been of interest. Larry's book appears to be what I've been looking for. I'll have to buy it! By Grace M Wetton (Gmw) on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 02:09 pm: Different spelling for Chuck Gazvoda of Chassell.
