Varga, 1st Vice-President and Toastmaster; Frank Bero, Director and President of Br. 1, Bridgeport; Albert J. Stelkovics, Elmer Charles, National President and principal speaker. It is wholly a fact that what the teaching profession lost twenty-five years ago was gained by that highest branch of insurance protection designated as “fraternal” — when a young high school teacher left his field to embark on a new career in fraternal life insurance. Now twenty-five years later that same man, Albert J. Stelkovics, who began his fraternal career in 1940 as Assistant Secretary of the then Rákóczi Aid Association of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and is presently National Secretary of the William Penn Fraternal Association, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been feted, honored and paid tribute for his long and memorable service as one of the best known and dedicated fraternalists among Hungarian American and other American fraternal circles in this country. For all the reasons above, friends, acquaintances, wellwishers and those of the same profession as Albert J. Stelkovics gathered together May 8, 1985, at Mary Journey’s Inn, Bridgeport, Connecticut, to participate in the program honoring Mr. Stelkovics and sponsored by Branch 1 of Bridgeport and Branch 3, Norwalk, Connecticut. It was an affair conducted in good taste for a dedicated fraternalist. The program was opened with greetings by Frank Bero, President of Branch 1 and a Director of the William Penn Fraternal Association. The National Anthem was sung by Paul Kurimay. The Rev. Zoltán Seregely, pastor of St. Stephen R. C. Church, read the invocation. Toastmaster was Louis L. Varga, Vice President of the William Penn Fraternal Association. First speaker was Julius J, Lenart, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the William Penn. His words were warm and touching: “Albert (Mr. Stelkovics) has never equated success with financial gain, but rather equated success with love through fraternalism and love is service to God and man, and is best manifested through fraternalism, which is one of the highest forms of love ... his devotion to his wife, Mary, and his daughter Kathy, respect for his parents , . . and dedication ... are evidence of the fine character of the man we are honoring ... in the name of our Directors ... we wish you many, many more years of devoted and energetic service to our association . . . Albert V. Kocsis, Vice President of Branch 1 and Chairman of the Stelkovics Testimonial Banquet Committee, and a President of the former Rákóczi Aid Association, delivered his address in Hungarian. He mentioned his own personal association with Mr. Stelkovics at the Rákóczi, briefly recounted the career of the National Secretary, eulogized him as a man of sincerity and dedication, and finally wished him much success in the future. Beautiful and impressive was the tribute paid by William Penn National President Elmer Charles, the featured speaker.

A recheck of the records by our Tournament Secretary, Mrs. Dorothy LaFever, revealed that a typographical error gave this team a handicap of 194 pins instead of the correct total of 94. As a result of this human error by one of Mrs. LaFever’s assistants we could not declare, at the time of our banquet, the proper team champion in the Womens’ Division. Therefore we now wish to call the attention of all bowlerg to the fact that WILLIAM PENN BRANCH 15 CHICAGO ILLINOIS IS NOW RECOGNIZED AS THE 1965 CHAMPION TEAM IN THE WOMEN’S DIVISION. The roster of this team is as follows: Mrs. J. Hodits, Captain, Mrs. A. Janovics, Mrs. Helen Revay, Mrs. Ann Prokop and Mrs. Pearl Juhasz. The 1965 Tournament in most respects was a good tournament. Th« Thunder Bowl Lanes pleased most bowlers. There were some very good scores recorded and the majority of the bowlers were very much satisfied. Thera naturally is room for improvement in any endeavor of this huge size. Management will bend every effort to achieve such improvements so as to maka next year’s tournament even better. At this point National President Elmer Charles and National Controller and Tournament Administrator John Sabo in behalf of all the Officers and members of the Board of Directors and the Auditing1 Committee publicly wish to acknowledge the support and cooperation extended to the Association by our bowlers in many ways, but particularly for the mass attendance at the Fabulous Dinner and Dance Party. Our bowlers are again demonstrating their fine spirit of fraternalism in attending the social affairs planned for them and this type of loyalty can only lead to better and bigger benefits to one and all. We officials do appreciate the patronage of all the bowlers and wa publicly extend our sincere thanks to them. Elmer Charles John Sabo National President National Controller Tournament and Fellowship Daya Administrator
