El¿bieta i Zygmunt Broniarkowie - Opowie¶æ Wigilijna 2002
Bêdê siê trzyma³ chronologii. W salonach Polskiej Akademii Nauk, prezes Wydawnictwa Projekt ", Tadeusz Kielan, urz±dzi³ 18 stycznia promocjê wydanej przez niego mojej ksi±¿ki pt. "Plotki, plotki i grube ryby - Kronika towarzyska Warszawy 2001 ", na któr± przyby³o ponad 400 osób. Wkrótce pó¼niej, bo 26 marca, spotka³ mnie zaszczyt ogromny: Pani Minister Jolanta Szymanek-Deresz, jedna z najpiêkniejszych kobiet w Polsce, Szef Kancelarii Prezydenta RP, Aleksandra Kwa¶niewskiego, odznaczy³a mnie nadanym mi przez niego Krzy¿em Komandorskim z Gwiazd± Orderu Odrodzenia Polski. Powa¿n± rolê w dzia³aniach, które do tego doprowadzi³y, odegra³ Rafa³ Sk±pski, Wiceminister Kultury i prezes Fundacji Kultury Polskiej, który w imieniu tej Fundacji zg³osi³ wniosek o przyznanie mi orderu.
W czerwcu mia³em okazjê udaæ siê na tydzieñ z grup± dziennikarsk± do Macedonii dziêki czterem osobom: panu Trifunowi Kostovskiemu, prezesowi firmy "Kometal " w Skopje i jego uroczej Mal¿once, pani Disy; dziêki panu Kosta Stoimenovskiemu, Ambasadorowi Macedonii w Polsce; i dziêki mojemu przyjacielowi, redaktorowi Stanis³awowi Blaszczykowi.
Wszystko wiêc w mijaj±cym roku koñczy siê jednym wielkim Happy Endem, czego i Pañstwu - na rok 2003 - jak najgorêcej ¿yczymy.
Elizabetlz and Ziggy Broniarek - The Clzristmas Carol 2002
Let me scrupulously observe the chronology of events. It was on January 18 that Mr. Tadeusz Kielan, President of the "Projekl" Publishers, organized a Promotion Evening in the Academy of Science for my new book "Big Fish and Small Fry - the 2001 Social Chronicle of Warsaw " which was attended by some 400 people. Soon thereafter - on March 26 - a great honor was bestowed upon me: Mrs. Jolanta Szymanek-Deresz, Head of the Presidential Chancery and one of the most beautiful women of Poland, pinned on my breast the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of Poland Reborn conferred on me by Aleksander Kwa¶niewski, President of the Polish Republic. Let it also be known that an important part in my getting this decoration was played by Mr. Rafa³ Sk±pski, Deputy Minister of Culture and President of the Foundation of Polish Culture, on which behalf he applied for it.
Three months later - in June - I got the chance to go to Macedonia with a group of Polish newspapermen and -women thanks to four persons: Mr. Trifun Kostovski, President of the KOMETAL Company in Skopje; to his charming wife, Disy; to H.E. Mr. Kosta Stoimenovski, Anabassador of the Republic of Macedonia to Poland; and to my friend Mr. Stanislaw Blaszczyk.
Last but not least I was lucky to go to Germany in September to report on the official visit of the Marshal (President) of the Polish Senate, Professor Longin Pastusiak, who was enhancing my status by repeatedly saying: " Come and sit closer tv me, Ziggy" Also in September, my book "English taught by Broniarek in 365 Days", was published by the "Adarn Marszalek Publishers" in Toruñ. I was assisted in all these endeavors by rny invaluable wife Elizabeth who - in addition to her many previous talents - discovered in her inner self a new one - that of a competent manager.
All of this amounts to a very Happy End of the year that's passing which makes us wish you ardently the same in the year 2003.
