House National Director I hope everyone had a lovely and happy Easter. God blessed us with beautiful weather. I hope your weather was (finally) great, too. Many William Penn members were present at the installation of the Rev. Barnabas Kiss at Holy Cross Hungarian Roman Catho­lic Church in Detroit on Palm Sunday, March 27. The Most Rev. Bernard J. Harrington, aux­iliary bishop of Detroit, was the main celebrant at the beautiful ceremony. Father Barnabas has been a longtime friend to the William Penn. Congratulations and welcome, you have become very special to our family. We also welcome the Rev. Angelus Ligeti who has joined Father Barnabas at Holy Cross. Holy Cross is indeed a lucky parish. Special welcome to Rexy who keeps everyone in line. Come and get acquainted. Even though Julie Chesley started her five-week vacation on Marco Island, Fla., with a broken arm, she and husband Andy had a marvelous time. They were joined by their son Andy, daugh­ter-in-law Cindy and granddaugh­ters Anna and Mackennzie. Daughter Lynn and her husband Bill also joined the happy family. Welcome home. I am glad it wasn’t your bowling arm. Congratulations, Ida Kanyo, on your new home. You sure are lucky. Our sympathy goes to the fam­ilies of Andrew Lizák, Louis Pasko, Kenneth Betlejewski and James Pringle. May they rest in peace. Happy birthday to Rose Krumm. May you enjoy many more. Continued get well wishes go to National Director Louis Fo­dor. It was wonderful to talk with you. You almost sound like your old self. Keep up the good work. We love you. I hope by now all your paper­work is in for the annual bowling tournament. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you in New Jersey.

Wil­liam Penn members from as far away as Connecticut were there. There was special entertain­ment for children. It was a family affair with three generations of families there. It was truly a won­derful day, well worth the drive. You could tell a lot of hard work and planning went into the event. We plan to attend next year.
