The Hungarian Congress was successful because it realized an urgent desire that had long been building in the spirit of the Hungarian emigrant community.<\/p>\n

What was that desire? It was the desire to meet and be together with other members of the Hungarian family. It was a natural desire to get to know others, to be casual, to be free, to \u201ctalk.\u201d But even beyond that\u2014 it was the desire for the excitement one feels whenever one anticipates meeting with a soul mate.<\/p>\n

…The participants did not want to have a \u201cshowdown\u201d of opinions and did not want to win the other over to solve the unresolved problems of Hungarians, but rather gathered for an exchange of friendship.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our desire to meet with members of our large Hungarian family is very strong after more than a year of quarantine.
How many times during the year\"60th did it occur to us how nice a casual \u201cconversation would be with our peers?”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How many times did it occur to us how nice it would be to exchange ideas with our presenters or to listen to the out- standing artistic performers of the Music & Literary program.<\/p>

This quarantine drew our attention to the importance of a friendly handshake, a kind hug, and the meeting of old and new friends. We realized how precious human life is, and how un- predictable and fleeting.<\/p>

We promise that once this pandemic passes, we<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
