Mialem zaszczyt znac osobiscie Boleslawa Taborskiego. Poznalismy sie na poczatku lat 90. XX wieku w Bush House (londynskiej siedzibie Swiatowego Serwisu BBC), kiedy pisalem pierwsza prace naukowa na temat historii Sekcji Polskiej Radia BBC. Potem spotykalismy sie wielokrotnie w Londynie i w Warszawie. Kilka razy odwiedzilem Boleslawa w jego warszawskim mieszkaniu przy ulicy Dabrowskiego. Okolo roku 2002 wspolnie celebrowalismy pod Toruniem, w rezydencji znanego wydawcy Adama Marszalka wydanie pierwszej ksiazki o Taborskim - "Przez lustra". Mialem zaszczyt byc jej wspólautorem - napisalem rozdzial "Poeta w BBC". Boleslaw przysylal mi z Anglii swoje ksiazki i tomiki poezji, zawsze opatrzone cieplymi, osobistymi dedykacjami. Jego ksiazka poswiecona Papiezowi Janowi Pawlowi II "Wprost w moje serce uderza droga wszystkich..."(2005) zainspirowala mnie w lutym 2006 roku do pisania moich wlasnych dziennikow, ktore nazwalem "Dziennikami Piotra". Na kilka tygodni przed smiercia Boleslawa rozmawialem z nim przez telefon. Jego glos byl slabszy niz zwykle, co niewatpliwie bylo sygnalem choroby. Obiecal mi, ze spotkamy sie w Warszawie i da mi wtedy najnowsze tomiki swoje poezji.
Dla mnie Boleslaw Taborski byl jednym z najwybitniejszych polskich poetow wspolczesnych. Byl wielkim humanista, znawca literatury brytyjskiej, przyjacielem Polskiego Papieza i oficjalnym, autoryzowanym przez Panstwo Watykanskie, tlumaczem dramatów Karola Wojtyly na jezyk angielski.
Boleslaw Taborski zasluzyl na Literacka Nagrode Nobla. Znawcy polskiej literatury nigdy nie zapomna o jego wybitnej tworczosci literackiej.
