I think that is a polish name. My teacher personally knows that person, as a matter of fact they are friends through parent-teacher relationship where my teacher taught his son. His mother is from Ukraine and his dad is from Polish, I think...
They came to Australia in 1949 when Peter was only 4 years old.
Gahahaha!! my teacher is good friends with good ol' Skrzynecki, & also Steven Herrick of 'the simple gift' fame. Apparantly, a few years back a class performed a rendition of one of the aforementioned authors' text [my memory is failing me atm] and the respective author came and watched it!! Hopefully they'll be able to organise something like that this year coz I'm doing...
The Simple Gift, Pride & Prejudice, Letters to Alice, Wag the Dog [eeww!!! i HATE this movie :'(] and Hamlet.
as my first choice I picked the option which had Bladerunner/Frankenstein, the Simple Gift, Hamlet and the Justice Game because I LOOOOVE all those texts SO MUCH but apparantly there wasn't enough to run a course on it... :'( and I really wanted a Shakespeare for my Module B coz there's just so much more to work with [imo]...
& for extension we have The Real Inspector Hound, Anil's Ghost and probably a film but I dunno what that is yet.
edit: lol & i also found it pretty entertaining/appropriate that ESL is doing "china coin" LOLOLOLOL i<3aZns -peace sign-
