I met Father Dabrowski in Kunsan, Korea. He was but a major then. He taught the most fascinating Bible study attended by the sisters from Oc Po and me - a lonely airman he befriended. I loved him as a father and kind man. God's sweetest blessing on his soul.

A brilliant man. The most amazing priest I have ever met. I've never met anyone who explained the old and new testament as well as he could. A very religious and simple elegant man.
