Duquesne, Pennsylvania (EDITOR'S NOTE: It is good to hear from old friends. Too bad distance makes it impossible to maintain closer ties.) Dear Sir: As always, we enjoy every issue and we wish you continued success in publishing this very fine magazine. We visited Hungary this past summer and we were both scared and excited about the changes compared to our visit in 1985. With inflation running about 20%, prices have gone through the ceiling. Hopefully, conditions will stabilize in the near future. By the way, it was exciting to see TWO McDONALDS in Budapest! Best of luck in your endeavors. Margaret Grah El Paso, Texas Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Please renew my subscription to the "Hungarian Heritage Review"; also the book "THE HUNGARIAN AMERICANS". I am also enclosing a $25 donation to the "HHR BENEFIT FUND". I would also like to hear from any Hungarians in Delaware. I am originally from a great Hungarian neighborhood - the Chicago West Side. Joseph Biro Newark, Delaware (EDITOR'S NOTE: Hungarians in Delaware can contact Mr. Biro at 2743 Frenchtown Road, Newark, Delaware 19702-3820.) Dear Mr. Pulitzer: I very much enjoy reading the HHR. Keep up the good work in helping those of us who are of Hungarian descent in appreciating our understanding of Hungarian history and culture. If possible, I would like more stories about the peaceful revolution nowtaking place in Hungary. Ernest S. Zavodnyik Flossmoor, Illinois (EDITOR'S NOTE: We have, of course, been flooded with all kinds of "stories" about what is going on in Hungary, but few backing up statements with hard facts. For this reason, we established contact with Radio Free Europe, etc. and are receiving more reliable information from these sources. One thing is certain, though. And that is that things are going to get much harder for the Hungarian people before getting better. Let's keep our fingers crossed that their patience will not run out and react before the new government gets everything in place and receives substantial foreign aid, trade agreements, and commercial investments.) Dear Mr. Pulitzer: I want to compliment you on your publication and its contents. Your new ideas for articles make your publication very worthwhile. Congratulations on the excellent work. I particularly enjoy "The Folklore of Hungary" and have not encountered Dr. Wass's book "Selected Hungarian Legends". Is this an old book or something still available? Stephen J. Kophazi Annandale, Virginia (EDITOR'S NOTE: You may still be able to order a copy of "Selected Hungarian Legends" by writing to Dr. Albert Wass, Route #1, Box 59, Astor, Florida 32002 /Tel: 904-759-2255) Dear Sir: Thank you for all your effort to publish this educational and enjoyable monthly magazine. Michael Lesko Lake San Marcos, California Dear Mr. Pulitzer: Enclosed please find check in the amount of twenty-five dollars for a subscription to the Hungarian Heritage Review. I picked up an issue from your table-exhibit at the New Jersey Ethnic Festival at Liberty State Park in Jersey City. I loved it! Your magazine certainly reinforces the fact that we are a most remarkable people. THANK YOU! Margaret Csőre Kelly Cranford, New Jersey (EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, Hungarians are a remarkable people in more ways than one. For example: in spite of the fact that, in comparison to many other nationalities in the United States their number is low, Hungarian-Americans have contributed as much, if not more, than any other ethnic community toward improving the quality of life in America, as well as to the history and developement of the nation.)
