Family
I met my wife Yvonne
in 1980 and we became bridge partners. After five years of fierce arguments
over the game it became obvious that the worst is behind us and we should
get married. Our son Daniel
was
born on October 20, 1993.

Why
am I here?
Between 1981 and 1986 I was an
officer of the underground movement, Solidarity. The increasing
pressure of PZPR (the Polish communist party) [see J.P. Jones, Repressions
in Poland, Canadian Mathematical Society Notes, vol. 18, no. 7 (1986)
pp.33-36) quoted below] lead me to leave Poland and request American Political
Asylum. |

Back
in 1979, while visiting United States, I took a two week trip from New
York to Texas, California, and Washington on a Greyhound bus. On the way
back, full of memories from Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone and other
unforgettable places I was passing through Pennsylvania and thinking: "If
I ever happen to move to the US, I would like to live here". |
