General Notes

Joe's father came to America as a stow-away at the age of 12 from Czechoslovakia. His name was actually Dolezal but when his mother remarried after her first husband was killed in the coal mines, she married a man whose name was Kaluarich. The names became merged into Dolerich. After the Second World War, Joe decided to to take a name which was less confusing. He chose one close to that of a man he admired, Dolland (pronounced Do-Lund).
