"And there was a shooting in Prostějov. Not only on the facades and the like, but I know that a few people were shot there as well. I do not know exactly. For example, a friend of mine, one who was in the army at the time, was shot. He was just on the leave from military service. He was with his father somewhere in a restaurant and he ran out, it was right next to the theater, in Prostějov. Well, as he ran out, a bullet hit him and he died. On the place."

"All this time, I was always drawn towards sports. Our parents, especially my father, raised us as three boys, who were called 'Sokols' in Konica. Because at that time we did everything that could be done in that village; starting with ping pong to football, hockey, even chess, we actually lived in this direction and I was always close to sports. When we did homework at home, which wasn't very common at the time, we were usually outside somewhere, on the playground or even in the gyms, where we lived our whole lives, and that's why I and my brothers had such a perfectly positive relationship."
