Branch 40 Martins Ferry, Ohio JOHN LASLO John Laslo, mayor of Martins Ferry, Ohio, ended a 37-year political career recently with a Testimonial Dinner given in his honor. More than 750 friends, business and political representatives attended the event in Veteran’s Memorial Center. Mr. Laslo was mayor of Martins Ferry for 24 years and many believe he was the greatest mayor in the state of Ohio. Numerous presentations, awards and gifts were given, one of which was a plaque honoring Mr. Laslo for promoting ethnic cultures in the community, presented by Louis Fodor, on behalf of the William Penn Association. John has been a member of the Association for 43 years. The William Penn Association salutes John Laslo and wishes him good luck and good health in his retirement. GET YOUR GET UP AND GO! Still not king of your particular hill? Join the club. Most people are not kings or queens. So what? Does that mean they are failures? No! Of course, if you give up and stop trying, you are a failure. But if you are still trying to make it to the top of the heap by being the best at whatever you do, you are not a failure! All depends on how much you do every day to get what you want. All depends on how prepared you are to attain your goals and to satisfy your dreams and aspirations. So, as long as you are alive, there is a chance. As long as you live and try and keep striving to be the king or queen of your particular hill, you will succeed. Only those who stop planning and trying are failures. They are the walking dead who have yet to be buried. 19
