Page 4 THE EIGHTH TRIBE April, 1982 This Article was sent to us many months ago by the Peter family of Roebling, NJ. This is a tribute to a man, who like many others of the old guard, stands as a shining example for us to follow. — Editor Tribute to a member of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Roebling, N. J. by fellow church members. We Magyars are proud of our heritage. We are proud of our roots. Our Church’s roots will be especially cherished! Mr. Kollar recorded them! They are recorded in a manner and style seldom found anywhere. The words are written with humor, wisdom, and a witty style that forces a smile even though only a serious debate is described. Many elder has said that the only good thing about a meeting was listening to Mr. Kollar read his minutes. They were works of art. Not only was the very great detail written down, but in style that will rrtake future historians and tradition seekers of the Eighth Tribe chuckle. Maybe, some day a third or fourth generation Hungarian will write the story of Roeblings’ “ROOTS”, and it will make the movies and Television, like the black man’s story did a year or two ago. If that happens, the only thing that will make it happen will the story as told in Mr. Kollar’s historical minutes-book. But, enough of his writings! He was a man for all seasons. He rang the Bell with joy at Births and Weddings, and tolled it with sadness as another, and yet another of his friends left him and this world. He cried inside, and it pained him to ring out the bell’s sorrow — but he carried out the tradition. The Bell cried tears of sound. The church was always — yes, always clean. No woman, or groups of women ever did a better job. On Television, a young wife tells that her kitchen floor is clean enough to let the baby play on it. Our church kitchen floor is clean enough for one to eat on it. Did you ever see a dirty rug when first arrived in Church? The rug only got dirty as it cleaned the dirty soles of the shoes as the people tread in. Next week it was clean again. Mr. Kollar is our Mr. Clean We speak of traditions. We speak of roots. Mr. Kollar is part of us, our past, our gift to tradition, and to our roots. No, change that! He gave himself to us and to our world. No one ever spoke evil of him. No one would know how if they even tried. Even if someone ever tried, no one would ever believe him. Cod brought him to us. May God Bless and Keep Him the Rest of His Days.
