Squirrels running, digging and raiding bird feeders today in Schenectady’s Elmer Avenue neighborhood owe Richard Kaczmarek and his friends a debt of gratitude.
That’s because the boys saved the squirrels’ ancestors during the late summer of 1948.
Seven boys adopted seven orphaned squirrels in early September. Richard and his pals — Bruce Keith, John Pauley, Donald Moss, Peter Putnam, Donald Gachowski and James Czaban — answered the call from nature and cared for the month-old babies. Posted on November 16, 2009.
