_L Page 20 Fraternity- Testvériség Centerben. Az Amerikai Magyar Református Egyesület képviseletében megjelent John Morey igazgató és felesége, Patricia Morey, Joseph Kovács igazgató és felesége Mária Kovács és Helen Ilona Szabó igazgatónő. A vendégeket Edit Lauer mutatta be, majd a fővendég lépett a mikrofonhoz. Ecsetelte, miként látja Európa jövőjét az Európai Unió keretein belül, s elismerően szólt az amerikai nép szabadság szeretetéről. A 93 éves Dr. Habsburg Ottó fiatalos energiával járja a világot és fáradhatatlanul küzd egy szebb, jobb Európáért, ahol a kontinens népei békében élnek együtt. Kitartása és a szebb jövőbe vetett hite töretlen mindannak dacára, hogy a sors, a XX. század politikai viharai és háborúi oly’ sok csapást mértek őrá és családjára. Kívánjuk, hogy áldozatos munkáját továbbra is a Jó Isten bőséges áldása jutalmazza!
