FRATERNITY Page 19 in, I am a State Tested Nursing Assistant. I am employed at Chardon Quality Care nursing home and I work on our skilled/ Hospice unit. When I am not working, I often find time to visit patients at work. I usually will take someone out to lunch, to parks, or even bring them to my home to meet my family. My studies are based on Jill Ann Zarachowicz my present job. I am attending Kent State University’s Ashtabula Campus to obtain my R.N. Afterwards, I plan to continue my education to receive my Master’s degree in Critical Care Nursing. Right now, I am a member of the SNA (Student Nurses Association) at Kent. We have many events throughout the year raising money for the nursing program, but we also have other attributes, such as collecting gifts for the less fortunate people during the holidays. After I have reached these goals, I hope to start a family. My main goal is happiness. I am aware that this field of study will bring me a lot of stress and heartache, but it will also bring me a great deal of reward and recognition. My main interests apart from work and school include: spending time with my family, running, reading, playing with my three kittens, exercising, and getting as much out of each day as I possibly can. Thank you.” (Jill was recommended for the Student Aid Grant by Branch Manager Genevieve Bihary.) OBITUARY REV. KALMAN ADORJAN (1926-1999) Rev. Kalman Adóiján was bom September 12, 1926 in Beszterce megye in Erdély. He was the son of Kalman and Anna Soffalvi Adorján. A brother, Janos, died in 1935 while the family was still in Erdély. Reverend Adorján and his parents came to the United States after the Second World War in 1949. They lived in Virginia when they first arrived. From there they moved to Plainfield, New Jersey, and eventually settled in Trenton, New Jersey. It was while living in Trenton that Reverend Adorján enrolled at Faith Theological Seminary in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, He began his formal education at the Magyar Reformatus Gimnázium in Marosvasarhely in Erdély. He graduated from the seminary in 1955. As a young seminary student, he visited other churches. He visited the Detroit Hungarian Church, where he met Violet Orbán. It was love a first sight, and they were married in Detroit, Michigan, on November 7, 1954. Reverend Adorján began full-time ministry in a small Hungarian church in Warrensville, Connecticut. He and his wife lived in Connecticut from 1955-1956. Only one service each week was held at this small church, and the sermons were given in Hungarian. It was during this time that their first daughter, Barbara Anne, was bom. The next calling for Reverend Adorján was to a Hungarian church in Staten Island, New York. The move came in 1956, and Reverend Adorján served the Lord and the church in Staten Island until 1964. The congregation in Staten Island was large enough and diverse enough to conduct church services in both English and Hungarian. Their son, Kalman Attila, was bom in 1957, and their daughter, Eva Hargita, was bom in 1960. The Lord then called Reverend Adorján to serve a Hungarian church in Youngstown, Ohio. He moved his family to Youngstown in 1964. Once again, the congregation was large enough and diverse enough for church services in both English and Hungarian. While serving the Lord in Youngstown, Reverend Adorján, along with several other Hungarian ministers, began a radio worship service in Hungarian for elderly shut-ins. Besides being very active in his church, Reverend Adóiján was also very active in the development and constant upgrading of the Bethlen Home in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America’s home for the aged. He was on the Board of Directors of the nursing home and was very instrumental in many of the improvements and upgrades of the home. In 1981, Reverend Adorján again received the Lord’s calling. This time the calling was to a Hungarian church in Trenton, New Jersey. He returned to the church where he had been so very active prior to becoming a minister. He and his family attended this church when they first moved to Trenton many years ago. Reverend Adorján eventually retired in 1991 and moved back to Youngstown, Ohio, with his wife. Since their children and grandchildren resided in the Youngstown area, Reverend Adorján and his wife wished to spend their golden years with the family.
