He was born Jan Józef Chmielewski ... I'm curious when and why he changed his last name. It would be an interesting detail to note in terms of how his family sought to assimilate into American culture. (My family anglicized our Polish name when my grandfather moved to Detroit at age ~20 in the mid/late 60's.) Jeffreyjgray (talk) 15:18, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
