Lest We Forget...

Now that was odd. A couple of Japanese are biking around Europe on TV, and they wandered into a small town in Czechoslovakia. Where they found a paper store with handmade paper. Among the items for sale was an odd newspaper kind of thing. They asked what this was, and learned that the owner had made paper and done one page at a time silk screening of underground news when the Communists were in charge and such newspapers were crimes.

Think about making the paper, then printing each page one at a time by hand - with the knowledge that getting caught would be severely punished.  That's commitment.

That's real courage.

Yeah. I wondered how many people would have the grit and courage to do that -- recognizing that there probably wouldn't be any rewards in it, and that the odds were against him. I wonder if anyone ever said thank you.

Maybe he knew his work survived. There might have been some satisfaction in that.
