My health is improving, getting stronger every day. I am taking cumedin to thin my blood, so the blood clots won't cause any problems any more. The Rev. István Nyeste underwent surgery at the Ohio State University hospital, but his condition was not improving very rapidly. We pray the Lord will help him get better soon. Condolences to Eva Zanotto and her family on the death of her husband, Janos Zanotto. His daughter, Eva Kraft, died in an automobile accident in 1998. Rose Komives is in the hospital with heart problems. Get well soon, Rose. Several members have shown interest in attending the Hungarian Language Camp in August.

Our sympathy to the family of Mary Ann Wukovits who passed away March 24.1 will always remember the fun we had in Niagara Falls and at the Edelweis Restaurant in Lakeland, Fla. The restaurant has a German band. We had dinner there one night with her mother and father. Her mom loved the music, and we had a great time. I admired her for her determination not to let her illness get her down. She enjoyed being a grandmother. God be with you, Mary Arm. You will be missed.
