Former Consul General Carl A. Bastiani was Guest of the Consulate

Carl A. Bastiani, U.S. Consul General in Krakow from 1979-1983, revisited his former office and met with members of the American staff, with whom he talked about his experiences in Krakow during the declaration of martial law.  Mr. Bastiani became a Foreign Service Officer in 1960, and continues to serve in the State Department today.  Of his many jobs during a long period of service as an American diplomat, Mr. Bastiani still considers his time in Krakow as "the best professional experience of my Foreign Service career."
