Page 20 TESTVÉRISÉG Tibort nemcsak szeretett élettársa, híven szolgált gyülekezete és nagy családja, az Amerikai Magyar Református Egyesület gyászolják. Az egész amerikai magyarság nagy halottja ő. Veszteségünket Arany János szavaival panaszoljuk: „Halnak, halnak, egyre halnak, szine-lángja a magyarnak”. íme: Dolinszky Tibor legrövidebb, legjellemzőbb életrajza: Színe-lángja az amerikai magyarságnak. Búcsúzunk tőle, hálát adván Istennek midnazért az áldásért, mely drága életén, sokrendbeli szolgálatán keresztül érkezett övéihez, szívéhez közelálló szent közösségekhez. Az Amerikai Magyar Református Egyesület igazgatói és tagsága nevében, testvéri szeretettel, őszinte részvéttel, Bertalan Imre az AMRE elnöke BRANCH 259 - LOS ANGELES, CA And Then There Were Six ... Mr. and Mrs. Johann Staffel are faithful members of Los Angeles Branch 259 for 30 years. Johann (an Austrian, born on the Austria-Czecho- slovakia border) and Irene (a Hungarian, born in Temesvár) met and married as refugees in Austria. They came to America and the Los Angeles area in 1955. They realized very soon after their arrival here the value of insurance protection and appreciated the additional fraternal benefits offered by the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America. They became members, and as their family grew, their son and two daughters also became members of the HRFA. And then there were six... grandchildren — who also became members, because Mr. and Mrs. Staffel recently purchased an insurance policy for each of their six grandchildren! Branch 259 is proud and happy to have 3 generations of the Staffel family as HRFA members! Mr. Staffel is a landscape architect, and together with his own and operate a nursery in Ontario California. Branch 259 has the pleasure of introducing two new agents in the persons of Miss Tunde Garai and Mr. László Előd. They are pictured together with Mr. Joseph Tegze, National Sales Director, and Margaret Saltzer, Branch Manager. August 1986. Margaret Saltzer BRANCH 300 - WASHINGTON, DC My daughter, Elizabeth is studying at Oxford University in England. On September 11th, she was flying back to London from Geneva where she participated in an international Human Rights Conference as a delegate, representing a British organization, called Minority Rights Group. Next to her, a middle aged Texan American was sitting. They began talking. In the conversation, my daughter mentioned that her father prior to his death, was working at Voice of America. Though the gentleman did not know my daughter’s Hungarian origin, he spoke about his anger with Western radios — for inciting Eastern European peoples toward uprising, and then did not help Hungarians in 1956. Later on he mentioned that his mother is a bit senile, and resides in an old age home. Since she is there, his family is at ease, because she is physically much better off in this beautiful home. When Elizabeth asked where this old age home is, to her great surprise the man answered Bethlen Home in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. My daughter knew that the following day I was travelling to a
