Miner Information:
Worked at Loomis Colliery, Avondale Colliery and Wanamie Colliery. My father, Peter Kondrad, Jr., was a graduate of Hanover High School, class of 1940. He worked for 18 years in the anthracite coal mines. He was employed by Glen Alden Co. at Loomis Colliery from 1942 to 1958, and briefly at Avondale and then at Wanamie mines. My father worked as a laborer and also drove shuttle cars. He was seriously injured in an accident in Dec., 1960, which ended his mining career. His left leg was nearly severed. He spent many months in the Nanticoke State Hospital and years recuperating. Although he was disabled, he was very proud of being a coal miner. My entire family were coal miners. They spent many nights telling stories of their times underground. In his last days, he often said that he wished he were young again, going to work at Loomis. My father passed away on Sept 20, 2003. at age 82.
