'Living in Hungary had become living a permanent lie since 1945,' said Varosy...'We now own our own home for the first time in our lives. I'm employed in the accounting department at Home Savings and Loan, and my wife also works. The children all plan to attend college. We are very fortunate." Pictured are, from left, members of the Varosy family, Kathy, 18; Mary, 16; Paul, 19, and Mr. and Mrs. Varosy enjoying a game of table tennis.
