ing to have contact with a group that knows that “Kalman” is a good Hungarian given name. Keep up the good work. Kalman Bona Fairfield, Connecticut Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Congratulations on your fine publication and the very best to you and your staff in 1987! I am enjoying my subscription immensely and want to make it possible for others to enjoy learning about their Hungarian heritage. Enclosed is a check for a subscription for my sister in Pennsylvania. It is a birthday present which I am sure she will cherish. Hope to see you and Mrs. Pulitzer in Detroit for the William Penn Golf Tournament! Veronica Sikina Livonia, Michigan (EDITOR’S NOTE: You can bet on it that we will be in Detroit for the William Penn Golf Tournament! We’ve got to catch up to and beat a few of those Hungarian “Arnold Palmers” who wiped the course up with us in Ligonier last year. But seriously, Mrs. Sikina, what you did for us is precisely what we hope that every one of our subscribers would do: to either order a gift subscription for a family member of close friend, or to get us at least one subscriber from among friends and acquaintances. Such meaningful assistance would make it possible for us to produce even a bigger and better “Hungarian Heritage Review” and for a larger audience which, in turn, would bring us that much closer towards fulfilling our serious “mission”.) Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Attached is my check to renew my subscription and for a new subscription for my grand-daughter. Glad to learn that a Magyar section begins in January. I understand that the special typesetting is more expensive. However, it would be most welcome and useful. Mrs. Joseph Fodor Columbus, Ohio (EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks, Mrs. Fodor, your gift subscription for your granddaughter makes it possible for us to embrace another member of our “Lost Generation” into the fold. This, you see, is what our “mission” is all about. Our finally getting around to arranging for the publication of “Hungarian Classroom” and “Hungarian Supplement” has, of course, increased our cost of production. But it has been well worth it, judging by the many favorable reactions to it we have received. We certainly endorse the idea and have continued to support organized efforts to teach the “mother tongue” in schools (both private and public), colleges, universities, and in special classes sponsored by various Hungarian organizations. While great progress has been made so far in this area, we believe that greater advances in the teaching of the “mother tongue” could be achieved if we could reach out to more of our younger generation — in their own language — to first get them interested in their “roots”, from which would follow interest in learning Hungarian. We already have evidence indicating that this methodology works!) ' "ICettcrB (Ülje fintor -Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Please continue our subscription to the Hungarian Heritage Review. We didn't mean to miss our renewal date. Hate to miss an issue! Dr. & Mrs. Louis Foster Valparaiso, Indiana Dear Sir: With a deep interest in history in general, and Hungarian history in particular, I am very pleased with the inclusion of Dr. Boros-Kazai’s “Hungarian Heritage Calendar” as a feature of each issue. It brings to the reader an appreciation of the many minor players who fill out the drama of “Life in Hungary”. It would be helpful to me if the author could periodically identify references used in assembling the material, so interested readers could pursue subjects of interest in greater depth. For instance, I have a personal interest in an item listed under October 6, regarding the execution of 114 Hungarian patriots at the end of the 1848-49 revolution. Family tradition has it that my greatgreat-grandfather OSZTROFSZKY was among them. Yet, I have not been able to find a documented list of those executed, other that the 13 officers executed at Arad. Do you, or the author, have any suggestions? Thank you for your help on this matter, and for the continuing excellence of the Hungarian Heritage Review. Victor G. Berecz Reston, Virginia (EDITOR’S NOTE: Many more than only 114 Hungarians were executed at the end of the 1848-49 revolution led by Louis Kossuth. We, of course, do not have a list of all of them. However, your question has been brought to the attention of Dr. Boros-Kazai. For, if anybody could answer it, it is he.) Gentlemen: Thanks and congratulations on a first year of publication of which you can be proud. All my best for continuing success in 1987. Steve Soley Toledo, Ohio Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Hungarian Heritage Review continues to be a very informative and readable magazine. Congratulations! Dr. Agnes H. Vardy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Hungarian history, art, and culture conveyed through the pages of the Hungarian Heritage Review is most welcome and very much appreciated. It merits reading by all of us concerned with the future of Magyarorszag. Mr. & Mrs. Karl Varga Farmington, Michigan Dear Sir: I really enjoy the Hungarian Heritage Review. Keep up the good job.
