From The Editor
In this issue we are finally being able to
print the pictures of the evening when
Wednesday, Apríl 16 of this year Brother
Jerry Mikuláš, Jr. was honored on his 20
years of loyal and fraternal serviee to our
SPJST Society. No matter how hard we
try, in taking pictures, something will
generally happen to one or two out of a
roli oť20 to cause theni not to come out:
maybe a ťlash from another camera, a
bad spot in the film, etc. That is what
happened in this čase and, luckily, we
were able to obtain pictures of our SL
Vice-President Gebala and President
Morris taken by someone else; however,
they were in color and, therefore, are
dimmer because of the difference in
developing them to black and white.
All SL officers made appropriate
comments that evening and Brother
Morris’ are included in this issue. It is
certain that Brother Mikuláš, just as
Brother Mikeska, in the not too far past.
appreciated this token of recognition for
ťaithful serviee and justly so.
* * *
Many of our readers will and do
remember Dr. Henry R. Maresn oť
Houston and, also.the co-author of the
well-read book: “Czech Pioneers oť the
Southwest.'” Your editor knew the doctor
well and the family also. His son,
Harlan, has stopped by our office a
number of times and is a very good
conversationalist. Dr. Maresh, Br. J.M.
Skrabanek, Br. Sid Pokladník, your
editor and others were co-founders of the
CEFT (Czech Education Foundation Of
Texas) to help students in learning the
Czech language. Dr. John Skřivanek and
his brother Joe were the instigators of the
worthy idea.
Recently, we received a very nice letter
from Mrs. Thelma Maresh Muston:
(formerly Mrs. Henry R. Maresh). It
stated tht sometimes she does not receive
the Vestnik. We will try to correct that!
It reads in part: I miss the Vestnik;
iťs the only way I can keep up with my
Czech friends in Houston and other
places.
I am married to a Canadian and we
spend six months in Canada and six
months in Texas - the best of both
countries. This is a beautiful, clean
country and I really enjoy my summers
here; this is the third.
Yours very ťruly,
Thelma Maresh Muston
(formerly Mrs. Henry R.
Maresh)
