April 1987, William Penn Life, Page 9 Branch News Br. 71 couple marks 50th anniversary DUQUESNE, PA — Branch 71 members Gabriel and Yolanda Czernai will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary May 1 with a Mass offered by the Rev. Stephen Kato at St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church. St. Stephen’s is the same church where they were married in 1937 by the Rev. John Retky. Mr. Czernai is a former national director of the William Penn. He began his career in 1935 with the Rákóczi Aid Association and was elected a director of Rákóczi in 1950. After serving four years in that position, he was elected to one term as a director for the William Penn Association following the merger between Rákóczi and the Verhovay Aid Association. Mr. Czernai played an instrumental role in securing a successful merger. The Czernais have been actively involved in the social and fraternnal life of Hungarians in America since 1937. Mr. Czernai served as president of the United Magyar Civic Association of Western Pennsylvania. Both Mr. and Mrs. Czernai retired on Jan. 31, 1975: Mr. Czernai after working 42 years for USX Steel Corp., and Mrs. Czernai after 23 years with Continental Can Co. Mrs. Czernai is the former Yolanda Rederi. The Czernais are the parents of Mrs. Alex (Theresa Marie) Girkiny, Joseph Czernai and Marian Casas. We congratulate Gabriel and Yolanda and wish them many more happy years together.
