Page 6 TESTVÉRISÉG ARANY FUTBALLCSAPAT continued from page 5 Amikor tapsoltam, eszembe jutott, hogy tavaly valahogy többezer méh vagy darázs bejutott az aluminium bevonat és a tégla közé a házunknál, s az alsó szint is tele lett velük. Az Orto vállalatot hívtam, hogy segítsenek valahogy megszabadulni a “hívatlan vendégektől”. Egy nagyon sportolónak látszó fiatalember jött ki, végezni a munkát. A csekk kiállításakor azt kérdezte, hogy ha magyar vagyok, tudok-e arról, hogy van-e video a híres angol-magyar mérkőzésről? Javasoltam neki, hogy a Követséget hívja fel. De ugyanakkor meghatott, hogy itt, Virginiában, egy amerikai fiatal is tud arról, milyen nagy esemény volt az a győzelem a futball történetében. S hadd írjam le azt is, hogy nemrégen megkérdezték Clinton elnököt, hogy kik azok a sportolók, akiket az évszázad legnagyobbjainak tart. Clinton elnök Puskás Öcsit is felsorolta közöttük. íme, a kis Magyarországnak a sportolói milyen komoly hímevet szereztek! Kiss Sándorné, Éva BETHLEN ARCHIVES COLLECTION CATALOGING IN PROGRESS AT THE AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FOUNDATION Dr. András Csillag, a visiting research archivist under the Hungarian-American Fulbright Program, will spend the 1999-2000 academic year at the archives of the American Hungarian Foundation. There he will continue the process of organizing and cataloging the Bethlen Archives, which under an agreement has been deposited with the archives of the Foundation in New Brunswick, New Jersey, by the Bethlen Archives and Museum, Inc. In 1999, Zsolt Bánhegyi, also a Hungarian Fulbright fellow, spent five months at the American Hungarian Foundation, cataloging the collections of the Foundation’s library and archives. He is a system librarian at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest and has vast experience in library technology and cataloging. Dr. Csillag is professor of English and American studies at the Teachers’ College of the University of Szeged, Hungary. During the last two decades, he has done extensive research on Hungarian-American relations and on the history of the Hungarian ethnic groups in the United States. He has written a number of articles and books relating to these subjects. His latest work is a monograph on Joseph Pulitzer and the American press, which is to be published in 2000. During 1987-1989, Dr. Csillag was a Fulbright fellow visiting scholars at the Gradate School of Journalism of Columbia University. Earlier, he worked as curator and bibliographer of the Vasvary Collection in the Somogyi Library of Szeged. In 1984, the results of this project was the volume, Mutató a Vasváry-gyiijtémenyhez (Guide and Index to the Vasvary Collection). The Collection represents the private donation by the Rev. Edmund Vasvary from the United States. It is one of the largest collections of its kind about Hungarians in America. For use in the United States, the American Hungarian Foundation microfdmed the entire Vasvary Collection prior to its being shipped to Hungary. On July 10, 1997, the American Hungarian Foundation signed a long-term joint agreement with both the Hungarian-American Fulbright Commission and the National Széchényi Library to initiate a technical and professional management program of cooperation for the processing and preservation of the holdings of the American Hungarian Foundation. In 1959, the Foundation funded and aided in initiating a program of Hungarian studies at Rutgers-The State University. Founded in 1954, the American Hungarian Foundation and its museum, library, archives and educational facilities are located at 300 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08903. Telephone: 732-846-5777. Inquiries may be addressed to the president of the Foundation: Prof. August J. Molnár. With the help of these valuable persons, we look forward to accomplishing the cataloging process of the Bethlen Archives in a speedy and proficient way. Prof. August J. Molnár (Note: The Rev. Vasvary was employed by the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America as Controller from 1935-1956.)
