Share information about your Hungarian events with us From the time of its founding 128 years ago, WPA has worked hard to preserve and promote our Hungarian cultural heritage. To help us fulfill this vital part of our mission, we call upon all Hungar­ian organizations to share information about any and all of their upcoming events and programs. We will publish this information in our monthly maga­zine, William Penn Life, to help spread the word and attract greater participa­tion. By working together to promote all Hungarian events, we can be more successful in preserving our heritage for future generations. Please send information about your events to: John E. Lovász, William Penn Association, 709 Brighton Road, Pitts­burgh, PA 15233. Or, better yet, you can email your information to John at jlovasz@williampennassociation.org. Family appreciates WPA food baskets and gifts BRANCH 44 PROVIDED US with food baskets for Christmas 2013 and for Easter 2014. We have struggled much this past year, since I was diag­nosed with leukemia in March 2013. I lost my job of 23 years in August 2013 due to disability, and my hus­band lost his job in November. I have been either an inpatient at Cleveland Clinic or driving to outpatient ap­pointments there 10 times a month for the past year. We have two sons, a daughter-in-law and three grandsons, ages 5 years, 3 years and 6 months, living with us due to their own cir­cumstances. The food baskets and gifts dur­ing Christmas truly demonstrated the benevolence and compassion the Association has for its less fortunate members. Your efforts to support us in this way are truly appreciated by me and my entire family. We also apologize for not acknowl­edging this kind act sooner. We have been overwhelmed by medical and economic struggles. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Nancy & Robert Chula Branch 44 Akron, OH Article brings back fond memories for reader READING THE TIMELY, nostalgic article written by Veronica D. Garry ("Roots & Remembrance," May 2014) brought back many fond memories of my own youth in Pennsylvania. Irene Sipos and Matt Dienes were my cousins. They often visited my grandparents-Michael and Mary Chauby (Csabai in Hungarian)~on Sundays, and I babysat little Veroni­ca. We lost touch through the years as we moved away from Sagamore, Pa., where my paternal grandpar­ents owned a farm and my mater­nal grandparents owned a grocery store and meat market. My maternal grandfather, Stephen J. Cherney, was a branch manager for the Verhovay in Sagamore. We were all members from infancy onward. Please convey to Veronica how very much her article meant to me. I dearly loved her parents. Her mother was a beautiful, caring lady. Her father was handsome and had a mar­velous sense of humor. Veronica was a darling little girl. Thank you so much. Isabella Chauby Laude, Ph.D. Via Email 2 0 July 2014 0 William Penn Life
