Son.
We loved you so much, just as we love your brother. We have been lucky to have two wonderful sons. Now A is here with us on earth, but you are somewhere far away. You, and your brother, as all young people do, made mistakes. But I am sure of this Kamil, that you did not harm anyone. They did harm to you, however, and after your death on earth struck you with a blow below the belt. I deeply believe that this too you will forgive them, as you did forgive others on many occasions, though then it was about small things. But even in forgiveness one needs to know whom to forgive, as well as what happened. You know that, but we are still guessing. And we promise you that we won't rest until we come close to the truth. We know that we can count on your friends and many people of good will and big hearts to help us. As your parents we respected your individuality. Yes, we decided that you were to be born in Chicago. And we decided that since early childhood you should treat other people and the whole world around you with sincerity. And that to get to know them, you needed to learn their languages and customs. Because of us, you were bitten by a travel bug. Your words were; Dad, without me, you would have been lost in all these travels; I will always stay with us. But beyond that, you made your own decisions. Decisions about learning foreign languages, and reading tons of books late into the night. In our family it was you who loved sports most, and that love resulted in professionalism. You tried to finish everything you started. Last time you did not succeed. But that was only once, and what a shame that this was last time on this earth. I believe that through your example, you convinced many people that your way was not meaningless, and perhaps some will follow in your footsteps and reach even further.
TOGETHER ABOVE THE DIVISIONS

Rest in peace and do not forget about us.
Please forgive us our mistakes, too.
Parents

LOS ANGELES/CHICAGO - Suicide or murder? Why did he die? What happened? Show us his body. For several months these questions have been haunting Kamil Szybinski's parents and friends.

On September 17, 2002, about 10:30, while walking on the beach by the ocean, Charles Edward Mulhearn noticed a helicopter circling above the rock called Inspiration Point. When he walked towards the spot above which the helicopter was hovering, he found the body of Kamil Pawel Szybinski lying at the foot of the rock. The body of Kamil Szybinski was face up, on his backpack, on the bed-rock about 15 meters away from the 30-meter high cliff, near the ocean. 19-year old Kamil had been a student at a private college, Marymount College in Rancho Palos Verdes near Los Angeles - MORE.

Chicago, a magnificent city with the largest Polish community in the world. Just here at the Resurrection Hospital, Kamil Szybinski was born on March 30 1983. It is also here, that we try to engage in fundraising, which would help us to disclose the true circumstances of his death on September 17 2002, at Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in the vicinity of Marymount College, where he studied.
In Chicago, at the Trinity Church at 1118 North Noble Street, tel. (773) 489-4140, on Sunday February 16th, a Requiem Mass will be celebrated for the soul of our son, Kamil.
We would like to wholeheartedly thank Rev. Director Wladyslaw Gowin, and tell him our sincere God bless you. Click on a picture!

Dear Friends:
I the name of the Szybinski Family and our own, we sincerely thank Mrs. Grace Wychowanska for publishing the appeal in the Nasza Polonia Portal, regarding Kamil, which was prepared by Mrs. Magdalena Kalkowska of Spoleczny Komitet Pomocy [Community Help Committee].
Please visit www.naszapolonia.com, section Mozaika Polonijna [Polish Mosaic].
Best regards.

For the last few weeks the whole Polish community in the U.S. and Poles in their native country have been shocked by the tragic death of 19 years old Kamil Szybiński who died on September the 17th in California. His death was classified as a suicide by the court's
coroner. The boy's family finds impossible, without the help of Polish Americans, answering the question why such a young and intelligent human being, who had such grand designs for the future decided to take so a desperate step? It's been five months since Kamil's passing away, and his father instead of getting a response to the haunting doubts has found still new evidence contradicting the coroner's story. Mr. Krzysztof Szybiński has exhausted all the possibilities to finding out the truth through the official channels. He wasn't even allowed to identify the body of his son. Even after Kamil's death he is denied a farewell glimpse at his son. He can live with doubts, till the end of his days, as to the identity of the man whose body he'll be shipping to Poland in the casket. Polish Americans have established The Civil Committee of Help, which will be collecting funds for the humanitarian aid of Kamil's father who found himself in critical position on the American soil. Poles from around the world have joined The Committee. No one wishes to criticize the official results of post mortem conducted by the state's officials. Our goal is to find a reputable pathologist to give a second opinion, and this needs funds. We re imploring Polish Americans to find funds necessary to hire a
lawyer and to perform second independent post mortem.

Without our help the parents of the murdered boy won't ever know the truth. The number of the account:

Kamil loved to travel. He was very fortunate and by the age of 19 he visited seventy countries on all seven continents. He was very interested in traditional cultural traditions and in slowly suppressed by the civilisation ethnic cultural treasures. He never had any difficulties in making new friends as he developed gift of communication mastering four languages: English, Polish, French and Spanish in which he was fluent. His prefered foreing language was Spanish. He collected rare snap shots. His collection consisted of aviation pictures and the precious nature. The longest of his trip is perpetuated by pictures suplemented with my own pictures to maintain this lasting tradition which united both of us. Click on a picture!

On a beautiful Monday morning Christopher and I set off to Palm Springs, California. The weather was perfect, the car was filled with gas so we got on the 405 freeway north and drove to the 10 east and about 200 miles later we were in beautiful Palm Springs. On the way there while we were still on the freeway we saw one of the things Palm Springs is famous for, it's wind mills and basic source of power throughout the county. They were amazing. So big and tall. They don't call it Palm Springs for nothing. It was full of Palm tree's and plants. As Chris said "it was the land of the gardens". We ate at a great restaurant in the nice town of La Quinta about 10 miles away from Palm Sprigs. Another attraction we saw was the famous "Palm Springs Air Museum". The museum focuses on World War II and the planes flown through the war. We had a great time. Click on a picture!

Gigantic construction in Nevada belongs to World Wonders. It is not Las Vegas. It is Hoover's Dam. It is located on the Nevada and Arizona border. Its size is huge. It was built in 1931 to 1936. So far it was not bitten in its class in spite changes in technology. Water reservoir is 200 mils long. It takes water from Colorado River. It is impossible to describe the might of this construction, which inclines to reflection. Click on a picture!

Dear Friends
It's very hard for us to share with you this painful message. On the 17th of September 2002 Kamil Szybiński, while studying in the US, passed away in tragic circumstances. One of the co-authors of our website and my son. He was only 19. An excellent linguist, profficient in three languages, a great traveller, who visited seven continents. His life passion was high-performance roller-skating. After finishing Uni, he wanted to work for the benefit of the international community. Life's unfair destiny broke his strike of successes.
Please pray for him.
Beloved son of the Szybiński family, fondly remembered by Piotr Jurczuk, Paweł Pyś and friends.

To see who he was and what he wanted to be like, pleae visit Kamil's website:

If it were possible to go back 365 days, then surely most people in the world, and most of all the Americans, would erase this day from our history. What we are mentioning is of course the 11th of September 2001. How does New York look like, in the first anniversary of this tragedy? Time heals wounds and the proof of what happened can be seen by looking at the immense, rectangular deepening in the terrain, called Ground Zero. I am not sure how the New Yorkers see this, but I really miss the two Big Twins. Without them the town seems empty, and similar to other cities, who's downtowns are filled with skyscrapers. But knowing the fortitude of the residents, it will soon be filled with another, more incredible structure. This will prove to everyone that the terrorist attack, which had taken place here, will bring an opposite effect to what were thinking the people of Bin Laden.

I invite everyone to the gallery, where I continue my correspondence, supplemented with archived and actual photos of New York. Click on a picture!

We're continuing our Crete 2002 tour. We travel from Capri to Sorrento by sea. Slowly we reach the steep coast, on which are situated many small houses, just like cuckoo nests - an amazing sight. You can find a more detailed description in Maciek's memories, from before yesterday. The next we go to the Pompey. This is where on the 24th of August b.c. Vesuvio erupted covering the district in dust and lava. The eruption surprised over three thousand citizens, who were buried by six metres of volcanic lava and dust. Only in XVIII century was this site recovered, allowing us to understand the tremendousness of misery. Please visit our gallery that presents parts of the uncovered buildings.

From here you can go to Capri. Sorrento, the Pompey and hike up the Vezuvio volcano. Just a reminder: to special sea fares are about 25 EURO.

Time quickly flies when you're travelling. Especially when you're asleep. We've already reached the famous Pireus, Athens isn't far away. Today we were sightseeing the Acropolis ruins, they're worth seeing. In the attached travel chronicle Maciek wrote a more detailed account of our travel. I'd like to propose to you visiting the second tourist route in this region. Firstly we got a last minute package to Crete for just 1 100 PLN. After sightseeing the island we went to the Rhode island. The ferry ticket cost 21 EURO. One has to remember that the ferry travels only once a week. The sea voyage is very beautiful - it takes one whole day. The boat stops at a few islands. The ferry has air-conditioning. I recommend taking a sun-block because the non-stop shifting from the hot outside into the cool indoors can not only cause a flue but also a change a skin colour. After visiting the spectacular Rhode island we went by a night cruise to Athens. It runs once a day. The time of the whole voyage is 15 hours and costs 25 EURO. After sightseeing the Pireus harbour and Athens we took another night cruise, this time to Iraklion, Crete. Altogether, for about 1 700 PLN you can visit everything. We invite you to the gallery with Acropolis and to Maciek's memories. Click on a photo!
