“I was thrilled with Mongolia, I enjoyed the work, even though we worked on Saturdays too. I was the chief construction engineer of the glue plant. Our company ZPS managed the construction technology of the glue factory, providing a large part of the supplies of machinery. My job was to put them into operation. I had people from Adamov who were doing mixers, there were people from Milevsko who were doing air conditioning. And there were also builders. My wife was there with me back then, but I needed to have some fun for the boys, my co-workers, to keep them from drinking. There were such tendencies. So, I arranged a trip to Gobi for my friends. We flew there. We could also go fishing. It was very nice. There are plenty of things to say about this stay. Everything was not 100%. Maybe my guys sometimes did rogue things that had to be solved.”

“The German soldiers baked bread made of our uncle's flour. They needed supplies. They baked bread, but they returned the flour before they left at night. The supply came to them later than they needed to bake bread. And in the morning, there were already Russians - the Soviet army. There were Romanians in Zlín, Russians here. They did not come in tanks, but in trucks and armored cars. My uncle, who was making his stout, told me to give a Russian soldier the casket of those beers. He was a young soldier, I helped him with it. But the Russians were in a hurry. Everyone else was already on the trucks, only he was missing. Suddenly, such a limp Russian officer with a baton appeared, the soldier dropped his beers and ran to the truck. The officer beat him until he climbed up the back.”

“Daddy managed to buy a piggy together with the neighbors. Killing a pig was not allowed at that time. I remembered how it was with my uncle in the country. He always kept two pigs, but only one was reported and the other we ate secretly. And my dad and his friends had got a piggy in Hostišová at that time and were planning a pig slaughter. But I got to know about it, I ran around Letna, jumped up and shouted that we will have a pig slaughter. My father chased me, and when he caught up with me, he beat me hard. That was the first beating I got from my Dad. I spoke too loud about things that were secret. That was in 1944 or in 1943.”

Největším trestem pro mě byl zákaz vstupu do tělocvičny
Alois Láznička se narodil 29. března 1936 ve Zlíně. Otec pracoval jako soustružník u Bati. Konec druhé světové války zažil v Koněšíně na Vysočině, kam se rodina uchýlila ze strachu z bombardování Zlína. Otec byl cvičitelem Sokola a v roce 1948 vedl výpravu zlínských cvičenců na Všesokolský slet. Na Strahově cvičil i malý Alois, který od dětství vynikal ve sportu. Dělal gymnastiku, úspěšně závodil v atletice a v lyžování. Po úrazu kolene se začal věnovat orientačnímu běhu, který v Československu teprve začínal. Zlínský oddíl patřil k jeho průkopníkům. Deset let byl reprezentantem v tomto sportu. V roce 1960 pomohl získat československému družstvu medaili na mezinárodních závodech v Bulharsku. Startoval na prvním mistrovství světa ve Finsku. Vystudoval Vysoké učení technické se specializací na obuvnické stroje. Pracoval ve zlínských Závodech přesného strojírenství. V roce 1966 vstoupil do KSČ, při prověrkách po roce 1968 byl ze strany vyškrtnut. Po odchodu z reprezentace trénoval mládež. V 80. letech budoval v Mongolsku velkokapacitní obuvnickou lepidlárnu. Pomáhal modernizovat továrny v Polsku, na Sibiři nebo v Alžírsku. Ve dvaaosmdesáti letech získal zlatou medaili na mistrovství světa veteránů v orientačním běhu. Byl aktivním členem Klubu absolventů Baťovy školy práce a propagoval obuvnické řemeslo.
