Early teachers warned him of the hopelessness of aspiring to become a concert pianist. The odds were too great against it, they said, in reference to his struggle against poverty, the lack of a good • Wladimir Jan Kochanski instrument, and difficulty in findbg the right instructors. The breakthough for Kochanski came when, at the age of 12, Rosina lJlevinne, a piano instructor at the JuiJJjard School of Music in New York City, heard him play the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto in Bminor. She urged .him to come to the famous school of music in New York, and he was admitted shortly thereafter. Mme. Levinne, wbo became one of Kochanski's teachers there, describes him as "a dazzling pianist, reminiscent of the old masters." He was !!raduated from the JuiJJjard School of Music in 1959. Another teacher at JuiJJjard, Eduard Steuennann, says of him: " His playing was always a delight to me. Purity of tone, sonority, and technical perfection - all these stand on the highest level of piano playing."

Other support personnel manned the barbecues at the command post 'area at Schoeffel Field. the Center's main athletic field, to cook 486 hot dogs for the volunteers' lunch break and to dispense 336 cans of cold soda. Hot dogs and pop were provided through the courtesy of the Recreational Services Department, Supply Depariment, galley and Navy Exchange. Supervi$ing the operation was Ens. Ken Dorrell, Facilities Planning Officer, who had volunteered to direct Project Com- munity Pride.

The four dump trucks made a total of 26 runs to the Kern County dump at the edge o(town. Capt. Haff noted that he was delighted to see the number of volunteers who felt strongly enough abOut keeping the Center clean that they were willing to spend a day in cleanup. Volunteers reported that they'd had an amazingly good time despite discovering muscles that they'd forgotten existed in their backs and legs after bending over all day.
