Epitaph . . . (Continued from Page 7) The proposed by-laws were then discussed page by page. There were three items our delegates requested that the WP Arbitration Committee discuss with the HRFA Arbitration Committee, and the by-laws were approved. The Special Convention was recessed at 4:00 P.M. until 10:00 A.M. Sunday, November 28, 1982, awaiting word from the Federation Convention. Although we were not informed officially Saturday evening, we learned that the Special Convention of the HRFA rejected the Consolidation Agreement by a vote of 35-32 and thereby a dream of decades was shattered. This writer had the privilege of serving on the Consolidation Committee, By-Laws Committee and Arbitration Committee and can assure our membership of one fact, we negotiated sincerely, in good faith, because we saw a bright future for a tremendously active Hungarian Fraternal. The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America delegates representing their membership spoke and decided, thereby putting a final end to consolidation ambitions. Our only regret is that the one and only fraternal consolidation, a history making event was not approved, which without a doubt would have best served the Americans of Hungarian ancestry. Our delegates were pretty clear when it was unanimously accepted that the William Penn in any future negotiations with the HRFA or any other fraternal shall be on the basis of a merger on William Penn terms. Thus, to the William Penn Association and Hungarian Reformed Federation of America Consolidation effort, we say — Requiescat in Pace! Albert J. Stelkovics Our abundant plains and mountains would yield little if it were not for the applied skill and energy of Americans working together as fellow citizens bound up in common destiny. The achievement of brotherhood is the crowning objective of our society. — Dwight D. Eisenhower DONATIONS SCHOLARSHIP FUND October, November, December 1982 Mr. John T.
