I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us make New York States commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight in the Executive Mansion a success. As a proud Hungarian son, the celebration was especially near and dear to me. We were all greatly enriched by the talents of the Életfa Hungarian Folk Music Ensemble. Thank you for creating the festive and nostalgic atmosphere that was truly reminiscent of the homeland. State of New York Governor George E. Pataki, October 24, 1996.
