The Saturday night Bowling Ban­quet and the Ethnic Fesival be­ing held that weekend are two extra attractions that will sure­ly spur attendance during the Association’s centennial year. Unfortunately, while Colum­bus is noted for its golfers (both the current national men’s and women’s golf champions are from Colum­bus), we so far have not made our mark with respect to a “travelling bowling team” in recent years. So, a special note to our Columbus readers of this publication. If you enjoy bowling, are a member of the branch, and you are interested in making the trip to Pittsburgh that weekend to represent the branch on a bowling team, as well as in singles and doubles competition, call Irene Voss in Columbus at our 24-hour phone number, 443-7797. Irene can give you complete details on how you can help finance your Pittsburgh “es­cape” by bringing cash prizes through your bowling skills at the Pittsburgh tournament. The more the merrier. We can form as many men’s and women’s Branch 129 teams as interest demands, as long as we notify the home office before their deadline dates. So, Columbus bowlers, make the phone call now. Join the fun. Plans have been laid for a fabulous Columbus Pin Picnic for all ages in September. Mark your calendars for Sun­day, September 7, from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. The location will be at the beautiful and spacious COLUMBUS DISPATCH Country Club, located just off Refugee Road in the south­east suburb of Brice. Rain or shine, this picnic promises to be great. There will be good food, good Hungarian music, good conversation, and fun ac­tivities for all ages. There is an attractive enclosed party house. Outside, there are swings for the kids and lots of room to play horseshoes or softball. We are looking for a big turnout—one that Colum­bus, Ohio has not seen for a generation. This is the event that we have designated as our 1986 William Penn Centen­nial Founder’s Day event. A committee will be combing the membership lists to determine those members who are eligi­ble for 50 year pins in 1986. The pins will be awarded at the picnic. See you there! At this time, let’s profile Ár­pád and Piri Sibrik, two long­time members of Branch 129. They have three children: Thomas, an air traffic con­troller in Indianapolis; Mrs. Kimberly Clise of Greensboro, North Carolina, who has one child, Tara, and is expecting another shortly; and Mrs. Terry Sue Isabell of Columbus. Ár­pád was born in western Hun­gary and finished his school­ing in Austria. His parents were major landowners in Hungary and they left in 1945 as Russian forces moved into Hungary in the closing weeks and months of WW II. Arpad recently retired as a chemist with the city of Columbus water department after more than 33 years. He met his wife­­to-be, Priscilla (or Piri) at a Col­umbus Hungarian church function. Piri Zákány Sibrik was a second generation American Hungarian born in the scenic hills of southeast­ern Ohio at Glouster. Many of the rural communities of southeast Ohio were at one time settled by immigrant Hun­garian coal miners. In fact, there was a Hungarian church in the nearby small town of Drakes, but as the coal mines shut down over the years, most Hungarians migrated elsewhere, many to Colum­bus. Piri has been employed by Sears since 1970. Arpad and Piri, each in their own way, have contributed to the success of Branch 129, over the years. Our 1986 Vice-President Arpad Sibrik and his wife Priscilla (Piri) Zákány Sibrik In a letter to Branch Presi­dent, AI Bartfay, Father John K. Cody, the pastor of the St. Ladislas Roman Catholic Church at 260 Reeb Avenue in south Columbus, acknowl­edged Branch 129’s recent monetary gift to the church. (The church was named after St. Ladislas—also called St. László—who was king of Hun­gary from 1077 to 1095.) Father Cody said that the branch’s gift will make possi­ble the commissioning of a patron saint vestment. He in­vited our membership and other members of the Colum­bus Hungarian community to the dedication of the vestment at ceremonies to be held at the church on the feast day of St. Ladislas (László), on Friday, June 27, 1986, at 6:30 P.M. In “branch briefs” we mourn the passing of Wilma Barton in December. Wilma had lost much of her eyesight in recent years because of diabetic retinopathy. A friend, Rose Finta, described Wilma as a “wonderful person, kind, and a good, good woman.” Wilma had four children. Her pleasant smile will be re­membered by many. John Gaal returned home recently from the hospital in his long and valiant battle against lym­phatic cancer. Our prayers are with him and we wish him well. On the “sunny side” we con­gratulate Diane Boso Walker and her husband, Robert, on their first child, Ryan, who was born in February. And we wel­come back to Columbus Char­lie and Marge Boso from their February trip to Florida. During a late January vaca­tion to Florida, which included a visit to my sister, Marge, in Ft. Myers, this reporter stopped by the lovely home of Frank and Irene Sabo, who are active in the William Penn branch in Cape Coral, which is adjacent to Ft. Myers. Frank and Irene were gracious hosts. Frank is originally from Hun­gary, Pennsylvania, and Michi­gan. Irene is from Baltimore. They mentioned that in addi­tion to the William Penn Branch, there is an active Hungarian Social Club in Cape Coral. I did not have the chance to visit with Agency Manager Anthony Noel, as he Continued on page 6, column 1 5
