THE EIGHTH TRIBE

January, 1981

Pa. Governor’s Heritage Affairs Commission, “Christmas ... An Ethnic Experience” (L-R): John Szanto, Former President of the Hungarian Holy Crown Guards; Governor and Mrs. Dick Thornburgh; Mrs. Eugene Baranyai, American-Hungarian Ladies Auxiliary of the Philadelphia Hungarian Federation; Dr. Tibor Bodi, Hungarian-American Commissioner.

Performances by ethnic music and dance groups and a warm welcome by Governor Dick Thornburgh marked the lively opening of Pennsylvania’s “Christmas. .. An Ethnic Experience” exhibit on Sunday, December 7 in the William Penn Museum, Harrisburg.

“Today we are gathered here as a family — the family of man — to recognize and share in the beautiful contributions our ethnic communities have made to the celebration of Christmas,” Thornburgh told a capacity crowd on hand for the opening.

The Hungarian-American community, represented on the Governor’s Heritage Affairs Commission by Dr. Tibor Bodi of Philadelphia, played a special role in the success of “Christmas ... An Ethnic Experience.”

The Hungarian Christmas tree, decorated with traditional cookies, candy and white birds, resulted as a cooperative effort of the Philadelphia Hungarian Club, the Philadelphia Hungarian Sports Club and the American Hungarian Federation of Philadelphia. In addition, exquisite pieces of Hungarian art from the collection of Commissioner and Mrs. Tibor Bodi enhanced the craft collection in the Museum’s Period Room.
