cents. Many women avoided super expensive restaurant fare by eating at the University cafeteria — a fate that should befall only those who deserve it, like college students living off their parents. I, myself, found a shopping district teeming with green grocers, bakeries and delicatessens, lunch was often fruit, cheese and Danish pastries. In the botton of my almost empty suitcase I found the cardboard cylinder containing my only purchased Danish souvenir — a poster from Tivoli gardens. What a night that had been when I purchased it! One enchanted evening the Danish government invi ted delegates and press to a party at the famed amuse ment park. Luck and perseverence brought me one of the limited tickets to the affair. Smiling, I remembered how a mere flash of the engraved invitation materialized a uniformed attendant at my elbow. Ushering me past crowds of tourists waiting in queues by the entrance, my guide escorted me to the elegant restaurant where the re ception was already in full swing. Resisting the temptation to unroll the poster for a peek, I turned my attention to the last few items in the bottom of my suitcase. I had returned with a lot of unused letter paper. But who could blame me? All the days and nights in Copen hagen had been very busy, with only stolen moments for personal correspondence, sightseeing and resting. Truth to tell, I was amazed by the stamina of my fellow WFUWO delegates. At all hours of the day and night they were tireless, single-mindedly furthering our plan of action: 1) to organize and staff a display at the Amager Center; 2) to conduct a workshop on the topic of Ukrainian women prisoners and their families; 3) to sponsor a hunger strike and press conference with Dr. Strokata as chief speaker; 4) to participate in workshop discussions whenever possible and appropriate; 5) to arrange a reception for invited members of the press and NGO participants with the aim of making friends for the Ukrainian cause. Needless to say, the delegation achieved these goals and more. Every night the group met to report on the preceding day’s activities and to plan for the next. More often than not, I hid broad yawns behind my hand or notebook — whatever was available. The Lord knows I was not the most advanced in years of all the ladies. Yet, clearly, I was one of the first to get tired. Which proves, again, that they just don’t make anything like they used to. I completed my unpacking by removing a cassette re corder, tapes and notebooks from my bag. Each tape was labeled: "Recording of WFUWO Workshop,” ’’WFUWO Press Conference,” ’’Interviews with NGO Delegates." Pages and pages of the notebooks were filled with my scrawling script. Enough material, I thought, for a goodly number of articles. Names and addresses, references to books and speakers, places and dates — it was all here, re corded for use in the days to come. And I had mailed my self from Copenhagen a mighty heavy — carried in my arms to the post office it felt a half-ton — package of printed materials collected at the conference. Hopefully, the brown-paper-wrapped bundle would arrive in Philadelphia within the month, safe and undamaged. Zipping up my suitcase and hoisting it into the closet for storage, I knew my adventure as the working press in Europe was really over. But it would not ever be forgotten. Soon, and throughout the months of1980,1 would try to re create on paper all those events now stored in my tapes, my notes and my memories.
