LIDICKER 1981 5/14 am. It was very hot before I got to track (person) to get the 06:00 train to Krakow. I had a good 15 min. to shave. The train pulled out at exactly 06:00. Very comfortable seats in compartments of 6 people. Stopped at Radom 07:26, Skarzysto Kamianne at 08:00 & Kielce at 08:38. We arrived Krakow at 10:28 (4 hrs early). Rain all the way. There has been heavy rain in Krakow so I noticed some flooded streets. I was met by Witalik Grodajiski (age = 46). He checked me into the Hotel Cracovia & then we went to the University. Met two Americans who have been in Katowice for the last week & are interested in pollution ecology. One was Dr. Craig McCaffran who is with EPA in Corvallis, Oregon. At the University Witalik told us about their program in pollution ecology & then gave me a lecture with slides on the pollution in the Niepotomice Forest 10-20 km. from Krakow. This Forest receives the downcoming winds & fallout from Nova Huta (the large steel making area Katowice) as well as other air pollution from Krakow. The forest is slowly dying & there is a massive inter-disciplinary research effort involved in its study. Then Jan Kostowski took a taxi into the centrum & looked for a restaurant for lunch. Most were closed or had a long waiting queue. Finally we found one & had good deer cutlets. Jan is planning to go to the Univ. of Georgia for a 1-yr. Postdoctoral Fellowship starting in Nov. with R. Wiegent. Then we walked in the rain back to the Hotel Cracovia. I took a nap.
