That is a fantastic picture of my grandmother, Mary Slezak, shoveling the snow from in front of Slezak's Mens Wear. She and her husband, William Slezak, operated the clothing, shoe, and fishing supply store at 140 East Main St. in downtown Amsterdam on the west side of St. Mary's Church. When my grandfather died in 1957, my grandmother continuee to operate the store until 1969 at which time Urban Renewal bought her buildings.
