_l___1 restaurant, a simple out-of-the-way restaurant, but with music so rich in sounds from Mihály bácsi’s violin that we returned the following evening also to enjoy this unforgettable experience. The city of Pécs transmits both happy and sad memories. Happy thoughts because it was from here that we traveled to the Village of Décs where we were entertained by members of the Décsi Artists Ensemble. Followed by a Csárdás competition, the men of our touring group were selected as partners by the beautiful young lady members of the Décsi dancers. Végván Zsuzsánna and I came in second place. First place prize went to Elmer Charles and his partner. The sad memories connected with Pécs is that our land tour was soon drawing to an end. The balance of our four week trip was spent in visiting relatives in Satu Mare, Romania, Budapest, the counties of Borsod and Veszprém in Hungary and also a short trip to Salzburg, Austria by way of Vienna and Eisenstadt. The total of the four weeks seemed almost not nearly enough. 1 am asked, how' do people accept you or treat you there? My simple reply is, with the greatest respect. I think the Hungarian language is the most beautiful and courteous in the world, when spoken properly. I enjoy the personal service afforded in their elegant dining halls. And of course the Hungarian music is the icing on the cake. Wherever I go in Hungary, my cassette recorder goes along, so I can record music for my own entertainment, and interviews with Kárpáti Mihály, Radies Nándor, Boross Lajos, Lakatos Sándor, and Járóka Sándor, (both father and son), that I play here at Dayton for the enjoyment of my radio program listeners. It’s difficult to say which of my three trips to Hungary I enjoyed the most, because each trip afforded something different that the others did not; so I’ll have to say, I enjoyed them all. At present I look forward to another return trip to Hungary, because there are still places to see, things to do, music to hear, and roots to discover. A Great Leader Passes From Our Midst John J. Lasko is known by Hungarians throughout the country, especially known and loVed in his own community. A long time attorney for the American Hungarian Catholic Society and its President since 1968, was called to his final home and his final reward. He was a graduate of Adelbert College and received his law degree from Western Reserve University School of Law. He was fluent in Hungarian and worked with great affection with the Hungarian immigrants. He achieved prominence in various positions in the city of Cleveland. A man of his caliber, his talent and devotion to God and country will be missed greatly. We express our deepest condolences to his family; wife, Ann, daughter, Carol Ann and son, John, Jr., a Cleveland lawyer, a grandson, a brother and three sisters.
