In Memoriam ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2007, the 36th General Convention honored the memory of those distinguished members who had passed away since the last convention with a special memorial service. Among our deceased members were many who at one time or another were builders of the Association, people whose dedication, loyalty and hard work made the WPA a leader in the fraternal benefit system and the American Hungarian community. Whether these individuals served on the national or branch level, in the Home Office or in the field, it was only fitting that their names be noted in the records of the 36th General Convention, and that the delegates recognize and pay tribute to their valuable contributions. The memorial service was conducted by Vice Chairman of the Board E. E. (Al) Vargo. The Rev. Joseph G. Bodnar of Branch 19 New Brunswick, N.J., offered reflections and paid tribute to the fraternal spirit of those being honored. His wife Evelyn Bodnar and pianist Arlene Miller of Branch 725 Springfield, Mass., performed a moving renditon of the traditional hymn, “How Great Thou Art.” The service also included a powerful and beautiful rendition of “Amazing Grace,” played on the bagpipes by Lt. Michael Scott (pictured) of the Pittsburgh Police Department. Among those honored during the service were: Michael J. Hrabar, former chairman of the Board, who had served as a member of the Board of Directors from 1987 to 1995, and as chairman from 1995 until June 1999. Prior to his service on the Board, he was a member of the National Auditing Committee from 1971 to 1987 and was a leader at Branch 16 Perth Amboy, N.J., for many years. William C. Kohut, who served as a member of the Board of Directors from 1971 to 1987 and as a member of the National Auditing Committee from 1947 to 1971. He was a major contributor to the Association’s Scholarship Foundation and one of the people most responsible for the acquisition and early development of Penn Scenic View. Joseph J. Miller., retired supreme president of the Catholic Knights of St. George, who served in that office from 1971 to 1982. Paul Molocko, Sr., retired member of the Board of Directors, who served on the Board from 1979 to 1983. Ernest J. Mozer, Sr., retired member of the National Auditing Committee who served on the committee from 1991 to 2003 and as coordinator for Branch 51 Passaic, N.J., for many years. John Sabo, retired national president, who served in that office from 1984 to 1986. Prior to that, he served as a member of the Board of Directors from 1971 to 1984 and as national controller of the Verhovay Aid Association and the WPA from 1943 to 1969. Joseph B. Sinicrope, retired national treasurer of the Catholic Knights of St. George. HOME OFFICE EMPLOYEE: Donna M. Griffin, FIC, life underwriter and supervisor of the New Business Department from 2003 until her death in April 2007. She became part of the WPA family in 1983 when the Association merged with the former Catholic Knights of St. George, for whom she was employed since 1978. ILLUSTRIOUS MEMBER: Alexander J. Horvath, Branch 132 South Bend, IN. FORMER BRANCH OFFICERS AND COORDINATORS: Alexander J. Goydan, Branch 226 McKeesport, PA; John (Jack) Lippert, Branch 705 Mayville, WI; Alexander Nanai, Branch 1 Bridgeport, CT; Frank A. Peterfy, Branch 129 Columbus, OH; Sandra J.
