Peter Dziak repeats as World Champion in Irish dance competition

West suburban resident Peter Dziak returns to Chicago today from Belfast, site of the World Irish Dance Championships 2012, where Dziak captured his second consecutive Irish dance world championship.

Dziak is a student of the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance.

Persons familiar with this blog may be pleased to learn of young Mr. Dziak's splendid victory but might question the reason for my ranging so far afield from the usual sort of post offered here.

As it happens, there is a perfectly good reason. Peter Dziak is the son of Joan and Dick Dziak. Joan Marie Dziak (nee Sullivan) is my cousin. I and my two left feet are happy and proud for all of them and all the rest of Peter's siblings, too.
