on the community Brotherhood Week committee and in 1956 was chairman for the
Manitowoc County annual observance. He had in past years arranged for materials
to be used in public and parochial schools throughout the county.
Georgiady's death was termed a loss by his immediate superior, Supt. of Schools
Angus B. Rothwell. "We have lost, of course, much more than a dedicated worker,
because we have lost a close personal friend," he said. "There is no doubt that
he was one of the top directors of instruction in the state. He had been offered
many opportunities to leave here but always professed his love for Manitowoc.
Only yesterday he was talking about trying to build stronger loyalties for
Manitowoc."
"Truly Dedicated"
"He was a truly dedicated teacher, and his first thought was always of his work
and not of himself."
He was born July 23, 1911, son of the late Peter Georgiady and Anna Ecomous
Georgiady. He married Elaine Waak at Milwaukee Aug. 27, 1940. She survives him
along with a daughter, Margaret Ann, of the city; mother, Mrs. Peter Georgiady,
two sisters, Mrs. Achilles Chacnoas and Mrs. George Nichols, and two brothers,
