special (Eri-State Area Report MAY 1988: The 75th Anniversary Dinner-Dance of the McKeesport Hungarian Club was a great success. And, Betty Király and her Magyar Folk Dancers deserve a lot of credit for it, including the stellar choreography dance steps of Vilmos Hintze and Rick Heyz (Keep those heels off the floor, fellows!). One thing you may be sure of at the McKeesport Hungarian Club whenever these dancers perform: Dr. Victor Molnár, the genial host of the “Hungarian Varieties Radio Program”, is certain to be on hand singing and beating cadence time for the group! “Keep those heels off the floor, fellows!” JUNE 1988: Les Phillips may be an American-born citizen of Hungarian descent, but he is as Hungarian as “kolbász”! Thanks to his beautiful mother, Betty, of course. Even so, his endeavors on behalf of the Hungarian Heritage are well known and respected throughout the Tri-State Area. Especially, his superb ‘cinematography. Les, you see, shoots films of all kinds of Hungarian activities and now has quite a “Hungarian Heritage Library” of them. Dressed up Hungarian-style. Les Phillips making like Frank Capra.

The “HHR Summiteers” The “Fiddler” from Martin's Ferry. AUGUST 1988: One of the two bright highlights of this month was the Annual Family Festival of the William Penn Association held on the scenic and spacious grounds of the William Penn Home in Wellsburg, West Virginia. Among those present were a beautiful Hungarian lady in traditional costume, Mrs. Julia Egyed, of Follansbee, West Virginia: Hungarian “fiddler”, Daniel László of Martin’s Ferry, Ohio; A1 and Anne Kertesz, hosts of “The Music of Hungary Radio Program”, Dayton, Ohio; and many, many others too numerous to list. The special “star” of this wonderful “Get Together Day”, however, was little Nikki Pecsvarady from Hungary.
