PAGE 18 TESTVÉRISÉG Elizabeth Kiss and Jeffrey Holzgrefe Bertalan spoke poignantly about how fate brought together Elizabeth, a Rhodes Scholar from the USA, and Jeff from Australia, to meet at Oxford University, England, where they were studying for their Doctorate degrees. The ceremony included heavenly singing in Hungarian and a song by Ralph Vaughan Williams sung by Christ Brush who is studying opera at Catholic University. Elizabeth and Jeff are both professors at Princeton University. The reception united so many good friends from many countries, and was blessed with dancing and dulcimer folk-song playing by some members of the Báthory József Hungarian Scout troop of Washington, D.C. May God bless this marriage. Barbara Kiss On behalf of the whole family of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America we extend our best wishes and warmest congratulations to this beautiful and bright young couple. Imre Bertalan Correction: In our last issue the family name of our Martha Major's grandchild was incorrectly spelled. The correct name should read: Erik Steven Schardin and not Chardin.
