A royal reception Pictured above are the members and friends who participated in the WPA's Hungary Tour 2000. As they stand in front of Vienna's Schonbrunn Palace Sept. 22, let's see if we can guess what they're thinking. Is it: (A) "We're glad we're not the window-cleaning crew."; (B) "200 rooms and only one bathroom!"; or, (C) "This is a great group, and we're glad we took this tour."? Our guess—all of the above. The group was scheduled to return to the United States on Oct. 4. We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable journey. A special note of thanks and appreciation to all my dear friends at the Hungarian Language Camp. Your acts of kindness and consideration for my beloved mother, Helen, will long be remembered.

Branch 18 Lincoln Park, Ml from Heritage Newspapers/The News-Herald TAYLOR, MI — Rudy Korpák proudly served his country during World War IÍ aboard the battle cruiser USS Quincy. But, while many of his fellow World War II veterans received their medals before leaving the service, Rudy didn't wait around for his. "I done my job over there and I wanted to go home," Rudy said. "That ain't no tea party over there." Recently, Rudy read in an American Legion publication that he could send away for all the medals he had coming to him. So, about 55 years after the war, Rudy received his medals for participating in the European, African, Asia-Pacific and American campaigns. Others included his Victory Medal, a WWII Victory Commemorative Medal, and WWII Occupation Medal, among others. He keeps the medals in a glass-enclosed frame along with his Overlord patch awarded for his participation in the D-Day invasion at Normandy. Rudy doesn't make a big deal about the medals, but he is proud of what they represent. And, we're proud of him. Robert J. Kantor, M.D., was recently named as the new medical director for Crittenton Hospital's Occupational Medicine department. Robert earned his medical degree and a masters of public health degree from the Saint Louis University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He served his occupational medicine residency at the University of Michigan Department of Environmental and Industrial Health. He has worked with the Michigan Occupation Safety and Health Administration, Owens Coming Health Systems, Ford Motor Co., General Motors and the American Natural Resources Pipeline Co. in Ohio. "We are pleased to have Dr. Kantor join our team at Crittenton, and we look forward to expanded programs we will be able to offer to [our] clients," said Cal Morgan, vice president for business development at Crittenton. Robert will lead his department in providing employee physicals, drug testing, injury treatment, work place safety assessments and many other programs. Congratulations, Robert.
