Tragom mog druženja s Antom Glavičićem (Zabilješke iz dnevnika)
Tracing my friendship with Ante Glavičić (Notes from a diary)

Summary/Abstract: Remembering his friendship with the late Prof. Ante Glavičić – in this first decade – the author states: we, as we live now, work and try to do only good things, like him, but we will also inevitably disappear when it is our time, not knowing when that will be?!Ante’s time came when he was 72, studiously working 41 years of service. He lived 6 years into his pension, although still working and useful. He left unexpectedly, calmly, not burdening anyone with his patient’s pain. His friends said: and so they leave life those who the Almighty rewarded believing that – or maybe not - we might also experience it ourselves? According to the author it would be true happiness! With this unavoidable fact and behind him now only memories live of the remaining trace different from the others – obviously due to people’s various ways of life. The memory isbordered with personal conduct, character and a wide human activity, which someone performed or by some facts separated himself from others by their habits and preferences. Does the author also really believe that this was the case with Prof. Ante Glavičić!? With his declining years the author of these lines understood that there is only one happiness, and that is the duty which we have (or don’t have!), and too often the only consolation is work, because the secret of the human being is not only in that it lives, but in that – for that which it lives? Ante obviously knew why he wanted to live from his days of studies to the last conversation about his Senj and Velebit, which he also intrinsically embraced with his gained knowledge. For the author he has remained Velebit’s Ante, because it is also there that he best got to know how to follow him on his trial, when he had the opportunity and possibility, so again he returns alongside him again on this trail…
