Dr. Hámos Ottó, osztálykezel'ó BRANCH 405-HAMILTON, ONTARIO On March 4, 1990, the election for 1990-officers took place. Those elected were: Anna Gal, President; Rev. Csaba Baksa, Vice President; Leslie Ujj, Treasurer Maria Papp, Branch Manager IREN SAKALO 1912-1990 Iren was born in Anarcs, Szabolcs megye, Hungary, in 1912, when her mother returned to Hungary from Morgantown, West Virginia, to give birth to her daughter. Iren came to America in 1920 at the age of nine with her aunt. She had three sisters and one brother. She is survived by her daughter Betty, her son Mihály, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Iren belonged to the Greek Catholic Church most of her life and was active in her church and community. At her funeral, we said farewell to her in Hungarian, and amongst the mourners someone said that Morgantown would never be the same without the greatest person in the world, Iren. Endre Csornán, Vice President MOTHER Shinny moon beams in her hair Traces of silver here and there A twinkle of stars shine in her eyes. So graceful with age — so very wise. Some call her Bubbles, Some call her Irene — I call her Mother — my fantasy of dreams. She'll tell you a story of the places she's been, The wildest adventures of what she has seen. She'll keep you in stitches — you'll laugh till you cry. She'll give a performance — on stage she's not shy. She's always ready to help someone in need. Doing for others — thousands of good deeds. And when I grow up — I want to be — Just like the lady — that cradled me. I know what she's been through — all the things that she's done. In my book of records — she's still number one. Through hardships and struggles so proudly she stands, She faces each challenge — better than any man. I am so proud of this lady — that God let me choose Iren Sakalo (Former Manager of Branch 153, Morgantown, West Virginia) For a wonderful Mother — (I just want to be like her) But can't fill her shoes. Lord let me see through the eyes of my Mother today. Give me her faith, wisdom, her courage I pray. She's my tower of strength, the rock I lean on. Tell her I love her today — not after she's gone. And so I brought you flowers today Mom Just to say hello. There isn't any reason except I love you so. I see a rocking chair — curly hair, A window dressed with lace. I see her sitting patiently, A smile upon her face. And so I brought you flowers today Mom Just to say hello. There isn't any reason except I love you so. And as I lay these flowers On your cold cold grave below, There isn't any reason, except I love you so. Betty Sakalo Hart, 1987
