We thoroughly enjoyed this week and the opportunity to learn Hungarian. God Bless all of you, The entire group The "Pilot” School Az összes osztály nevében igen köszönünk a tanároknak türelmes jó tanítás, hogy egy hét alatt ilyen jól meg tanultunk beszélni és Írni magyarul, és kószónúnk mindent, mindenkinek aki akármilyen segítséget adott nekünk. Igen élvesztük ezt a hétét, és az alkalomat tanulni magyarul.

September issue. But at the same time I was very disappointed that my name under the picture was written as Dorothy Haynes. My name is Dolores Haynes, and if any of my old friends who haven’t seen me for years get the paper they would never know me by that name. It’s not often that someone as ordinary as a housewife gets to be recognized for anything she does, so it would be more exciting if it were with your correct name. _ I hope you don’t mind my complaint; 1 know it probably seems petty, but my sister and I were the only ones from Michi­gan (attending the camp) and even our state wasn’t mentioned in the story. I know you have a lot to do and write about and a lot more im­portant things. But I felt you would want to know about the mistake. Thank you very much.

Illés and the members of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Duquesne on their anniversaries and wishes them continued success.
