Hi,
I do wonder and sometimes an event occurs that brings some things back.
I usually check the TV schedule in the afternoon so I can record programs in the evening. Today I saw that PBS has a documentary on Jerzy Popieluszko, who was a Priest in the Solidaridy Movement in Poland who disappeared and was thought killed by the Russians.
I marched for several days in front of the Russian Embassy on lake Shore Drive in Chicago to chant "Where is Jerzy Popieluszko? The Russians could be seen peeking behind the windows through the blinds to keep tabs on us. Of course the police came to make sure we behaved, and of course they weren't going to tell us anything, but we made a clammar anyway.
I met many of those involved in the Solidarity Movement who had to leave Poand in a hurry or they would have ended in Jail. The gal I was with had a choice between jail and deportation. She choose deportation and landed a job with Voice of America. She was such a passionate woman and a devout Catholic. I wonder where she is now and all those that are now our American brothers.
This was a time i was an active political person, Jerzy Popieluszko was found dead, but was a light to be remembered.
Anyone share any I wonder where they are now?
