"Well, we had 22 students sign it. And when the faculty found out about it, they were angry with us and Dean Molnár said that it was absolutely stupid what we were doing, that it couldn't be done like that. And he wasn't at all like for the communists, yeah, but that's just how we know how it all was. But anyway, he just scolded us for it, we were told that we should have submitted it through the regular way through the faculty, right, which Franta said would have gotten nowhere, they would have just caught it and it wouldn't have gone anywhere."

"Well, so I was in my first summer job, and I was in my first summer job in '68. We were in Aloisov and we were there when the Soviet troops came." - "Somewhere in the Jeseníky Mountains was this Aloisov?" - "In Jeseníky. And we were going. I had to change trains about four times from Bratislava, by train to Brno, then to Hanusovice and up there. So I came to the summer job. It was supposed to be in Branna, which is a small cabin in the forest with electricity, and because there were about 26 of us, we were in Aloisov, which was a cabin in the forest right there, just a cabin where there was no electricity. And at that time we were headed by Tomas Bisek, he and his wife were there, they had some children already, I think. And there was a plethora of all the theologians, so there were, I don't know who all was there at that time - like Bob Vaštecky, I can't remember all of it, but Dan Drápal was there too - just like a lot of theologians. And so it was in August and we went to work in the morning and we had to go over the hill because we were logged into this Branna, so we were in the Branna forest and not Aloisov, so we walked an hour and a half to work. We got there, we sat down on the logs and now all of a sudden there was a commotion that, well, the Russians are here. Hajnej just that so planes Russian and tanks, that just it's on the border."
