Altogether, it’s very high standard,” he said. “We are now in the state of affairs here that Ford Motor Co. was when they sold their first Lincoln. It’s the beginning of something very big,” said the 72-year-old Dorati. “When I have sold the second million Lincolns, then I will know how good a business I have.” Dorati says he has not been apked about a possible symphony concert next year when the Republicans hold their presidential convention. “If they want a program, I’ll give it to them.” But, with a glint in his eye, he adds: “T)o you think they are interested? A politician who is interested in music is a rare bird indeed.” A Proclamation by the Mayor of Herdon, Virginia Citizens of Herndon: On Monday, June 11, a long-time resident and dear friend of Herndon passed away. Ferenc Nagy first came to Herndon in 1948 soon after he had been forced from the office of Premier of Hungary by the Communists. Ferenc Nagy bought a dairy farm just outside of Herndon near the Dulles overpass on Centreville Road. Soon after, he and his family moved to their present home at the corner of Eiden Street and School Street. The Victorian-style house and grounds were always kept immaculate by him and his family. Ferenc Nagy was a quiet man who dedicated his life to helping his fellow countrymen in Hungary. Although he never admitted the fact, he was convinced he would never return to his native Hungary. Whenever he was asked the question, “Of all the places you have been in this world, which one is nicest?” without hesitation he would always answer, “America.” He lias been described as a statesman, politician, author, lecturer, but most important of all, Ferenc Nagy was a gentleman and friend. The people of Herndon will certainly miss the way he walked through the streets, always tipping his hat and greeting you with a smile. As Mayor of Herndon, I am proclaiming Saturday, June 16, 1979 a memorial day for Ferenc Nagy. Our flags at public buildings will fly at half mast and our Police Force will provide an honor guard during tho funeral services. Thomas D. Rust, Mayor
