A rei hg pare 23 i Sitting in front of the brightly- burning fireplace at the far end of the lounge, it is easy to forget that one is in one of the popular restaurants and grills in Dallas. Particularly so when listening to Mike Kozick relate incidents from his years in the service or reminisce about his big game hunting trips to all corners of Mike Kozick, one of the four brothers who purchased the for- mer Lundy's Bar and Grill on Main Street, Dallas, after some renovation opened it as ‘Brothers Four Lounge’ in 1960. Since that time Mike, the oldest of the four, has been in- strumental in its being re- modeled several times. First, he took out the big horseshoe bar and installed a smaller one in the front of the building, leaving the back part of the building for large parties and a small dining room on the side for club meetings or small groups. During the past year or so, Mike again took to remodeling design which has proven quite room complements the huge stone fireplace and the attrac- tive black and white decor. His six nights a week smor- gasbord is enjoyed by many re- sidents of the Back Mountain who, after dining, linger on to chat with others in this well- known center where ‘friends meet.” Mike, originally a native of Plains, moved to the Back Mountain with his parents, Mary Kozick of East Dallas, and the late” Michael Kozick, highschool. He graduated from Dallas the late Raymond Kuhnert was prin- cipal. A great sports enthusiast, he was a member of the basket- ball, baseball, and football varsity teams while in high school.

The ‘well- known Rdy Arcel was his trainer at the time. ; Following his discharge from the service as a sergeant, Mike considered going into profes- sional boxing but encountered contractual problems and -in- stead embarked upon a. career in the food business. ; In 1946 he opened his first restaurant in Linden, N.J., then known as ‘Edgar’s,’ which he owned and managed until 1960 when he saw opportunity in Dallas and with his brothers Dave, Pooch and Danny opened the business on Main Street. While in. New Jersey, he married the former Tillie Fred- erick of Newark in 1950. They have five children—Susanne, dental hygienist in Philadel- phia, who plans to be married this summer; Arlene (Pooch). sophomore at College Miseri- cordia where she is a member of the varsity basketball team; Mike Jr., a sophomore at Dallas Senior High School, who assists his father in the restaurant; Michelle, a student at Dallas Elementary, and Lisa, also a student at Dallas Elementary. Less than a year before moving back to Dallas, Mike gave serious consideration to retiring but after a few months became bored with the inacti- vity, thus came the first glim- mering of the idea of opening his place in Dallas. He resides with his wife and family on Machell Avenue in what was the former Hildebrant home, long-time natives of Dallas. A member of Gate of Heaven Church, Mike is also active in numerous service clubs, among them the Moose, Elks, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion. One of his favorite past-times is reminiscing about days long gone when he lived by an alarm clock in order to keep pace with his hectic and busy schedule. Today, although a successfull businessman, he no longer lives by the clock but arises whi ready, and “s+ generally at te restaurant by'11 a.m. ; Although Mike prepares the food served daily at the rest- aurant, strangely enough he is not the cook at home. The kit- chen at home is his wife’s pro- vince and he does not infringe upon it. When he takes time out from the business he enjoys horse racing, hunting and travelling. He and his wife recently return- ed from Spain and, together, they have been around the world several times. Although the business’ now limits his hunting expeditions, in the years past he went big game hunting and hunting expeditions for moose, elk, caribou, bear, big cats, have taken him to every country with the exception of Africa. Deer, moose, and caribou mounted in the restaurant attest to his hunting prowess. who were on Iwo Jima when the flag was raised and was one of very few Back Mountain men in the Marines at that time. He and four others, Jiggs Elston, Red LaGrand, Harold Dymond, and Bill Shea met in Hawaii during the war, but they have not been together at one time since. For years, Fred Dodson had a photo of the five of them hanging in his store—a photo taken when they were together in Hawaii. The four brothers still live in the Dallas area—Leonard (Pooch), former Dallas High School teacher resides in Or- chard View Terrace; Danny lives on Memorial Highway, closer to Luzerne than Dallas; and Dave lives on Demunds Road, East Dallas. Mike’s congeniality, his sense of humor, his willingness to assist are very apparent to his friends and many people during the flood had occasion to appre- ciate his generosity. He is a welcome neighbor to our Back Mountain area; like many others he plays a major role in the progress of the community. Mike grew his handlebar mus- tache for the Dallas Sesquicen- tennial in 1967 and never shaved it off.
