Soyuzivka summers: a worker's fond reminiscence

by Orysia Paszczak Tracz For Pan Kwas, upon his retirement. PARTJ it is with deep nostalgia that 1 read about the summer activities at Soyu– zivka. Because of distance, my family and 1 visited there only every few years. And 1 miss it. After all, it was my summer and weekend home for five years in the early 1960s. Up to now, 1 haven't really expressed my thanks and appreciation for having had the opportunity of working there, it was more that just a place of work, a source of a paycheck for a student. І benefitied from it greatly, over and above what Soyuzivka may have bene– fitted from my work. 1 began working in the Soyuzivka office at the age of 15. І almost didn't make it. Pan Kwas (we always called him Pan Kwas, never Mr. or Walter) first refused my application because І was too young by a few months. Later, he told me that he changed his mind and gave me a chance when 1 pleaded with him, saying that 1 was willing to do any kind of job.
