So many good people in one plane,

and near that cursed place again.

And too many attempts to land...

Hope no close friends amongst all them dead.

 

We have "week of Polish Culture" planned in our town Slany next week, with Polish films (Katyn is one of them), songs, food etc planned for many months in advance.

I hope it will still go on, same as life.

 

Regards,

George

 

PS: I just read in our paper that last year, this very same plane landed in Azerbajdan instead of in Gruzia, due to a bad weather, and Lech K.

got very upset.

Pilot of the plane was sacked...

 

( Gwoli wyjasnienia: podczas Praskiej Wiosny, Jurek jako mlody chlopak uciekl do Austrii, a stamtad wyjechal do Australii, gdzie pracowal przez ponad 30 lat. Dziesiec lat temu powrocil do rodzinnego miasteczka Slany, ale wciaz woli pisac do mnie po angielsku niz po czesku ).
