Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Wow! Can it really be September already? Where did the summer go? Guess that's what happens when everyone is so busy outdoors and on the go so much, having fun in the sun. We don't realize how fast time flies by. Wishing happy days of learning to all those returning to the classroom. What a great success the annual Magyar Nap event was this year in Youngstown. The weather provided a perfect setting for dancing and eating. I'm sure this will be true for the annual Heritage Day on Sept. 7 at 2219 Donald Ave. Congratulations to the Tollas family on the birth of Justin Mitchell Bishop Jr. He was a welcomed fourth generation to the entire family, especially parents Justin and Nicole Bishop, grandparents John and Mamie Tollas and great-grandfather Sándor Tollas Sr. Heard that the Schauer family, while visiting in Chicago, participated in the 4th of July parade. Best wishes to all the birthday celebrants and those celebrating anniversaries. Special best wishes go out to Dan and Betty Kalosky on their 68th wedding anniversary and to Art and Vera Szőke on their 58th anniversary.
