Accommodations for all golfers and guests WPA joins in dedication of flags at Heritage Center NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — The William Penn Association and the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America (HRFA) joined here June 3 to pay tribute to the memory of a special member of the American Hungarian community, Priscilla B. Arvay Molnár. Mrs. Molnár, who died May 2, was a strong supporter of the work of the American Hungarian Foundation (AHF), an institution led by her husband, Prof. August J. Molnár. To honor her memory, the two Hungarian fraternal benefit societies dedicated two flagpoles, and the American and Hungarian flags that will fly atop them, in the courtyard of the AHF’s Hungarian Heritage Center in New Brunswick. National President E. E. Vargo dedicated the American flag and its flagpole on behalf of the William Penn Association. "As it flies so proudly here in the courtyard of the Hungarian Heritage Center,” he said, "this flag of our nation symbolizes the values and aspirations of its people. As this flag is presented in memory of Priscilla B. Molnár, let us also reflect on her love and devotion to the American Hungarian Foundation.” "As we see (our flag) waving in the wind, may it always be a reminder to us that she lives on in our hearts, and we cherish her memories left with us,” he said. Dedicating the Hungarian flag and its flagpole was George Dózsa, president of the HRFA. He, too, spoke of Mrs. Malnar’s love for her Hungarian heritage and the deep impression she left on all who knew her. As the audience joined in sing' ing our national anthem, the American flag was raised by WPA National Directors Michael J. Hrabar and Elmer W. Toth. Then, HRFA Vice President László Lipoczky and HRFA Director Michael Pauli raised the Hungarian flag as all sang the Magyar Himnusz. With his son John, daughterin-law and two grandchildren by his side, Prof. Molnár accepted the tribute to his late wife on behalf of his family. He expressed his deep gratitude to all those assembled for the ceremony as he wiped tears from his cheeks and tried hard to keep his emotions in check. As the new flags unfurled in the late morning breeze, the strains of "Amazing Grace” provided a poignant and fitting conclusion to the ceremony.
