This interview was well done and very interesting. I have known Mary and her parents for many years, yet it was good to here about their history. Mary has grown to be a very good example of her parents. Keep up the good efforts Mary. Bill Y

It’s so important to hear or record personal history and especially the emotions that go along with it. It would be nice to continue exploring your family history, Mary ~ it’ll be lost unless you give it a home. Steve, thanks for sharing a little bit of your story.
Great picture! I loved the questions you asked ~ makes me want to hear more. Nice to know famous people!

Wow, Mary! What an interesting story! I have known your parents for many years but I never knew ANY of that about your Dad and his family! Thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Steve & Mary!
I just listened to the interview today after meeting you yesterday at the “chicken palace” party. I found it truly moving. I wish I had listened to the interview before I met you so I could talk to you, Steve, in greater detail about your parents. BTW, I have been to Trnava, where your father was born….
