| HISTORY CONTINUED: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I WAS MAKING WINE WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD. THEN 2 YEARS LATER, MY FRIEND TALKED |
| ME INTO MAKING SOME PLUM AND OTHER FRUIT BRANDY. WE MADE THE EQUIPMENT FOR |
| THIS PURPOSE ALSO. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I FINISHED MY SCHOOLING IN AN AGRICULTURE NURSERY, VINEYARD & WINEMAKING |
| INSTITUTION WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO CAREFULLY PLANT THE GRAPEVINE AND LEARN HOW |
| DEEP TO CULTIVATE THE SOIL FOR THE GRAPE VINE ROOTS TO GROW DEEPER AND QUICKER |
| SO IT CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT IRRIGATION AND PICK UP VARIOUS MINERALS WHICH WILL |
| MAKE THE FRUIT BETTER AND THE WINE TASTIER. |
|
|
|
|
| ALSO NOT TO PICK THE GRAPE TOO EARLY SO IT DEVELOPS BETTER AND MAKES THE WINE MORE |
| FULL BODIED, FRUITIER TASTE AND HAVE A MORE DISTINGUISHED COLOR. |
|
| TODAY I STILL PRACTICE THIS. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| MY OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION: |
|
|
|
|
| I LEARNED PLANNING, BUDGETING, ACCOUNTING, AND MANAGEMENT IN VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS |
| IN HUNGARY AND COLLEGES IN THE U.S.A. |
|
|
|
|
| I GAINED EXPERIENCE IN PLANNING, BUDGETING, ACCOUNTING, AND MANAGEMENT IN HUNGARY. |
| (HUNGARIAN RAIL ROAD, HUNGARIAN ARMY, AND IN THE U.S.A. (R.T.D. BUS CO, |
|
| WHITE MOTOR CORP, WHITE FRONT STORES, FRANCHINI PET & FOOD SUPPLY, LA COUNTY |
| MUNICIPAL COURT, LA COUNTY POLICE, ALEX FARM FRESH EGGS AND THE VADAI WORLD TRADE |
| ENTERPRISE LLC VADAI JEWELRY/ DIAMOND, VADAI BARRELS AND VADAI WINE.) |
|

|
|
|
|
| WHY I LEFT HUNGARY: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| DURING THE REVOLUTION IN HUNGARY THAT STARTED OCTOBER 23, 1956 I LISTENED TO THE |
| ENGLISH NEWS ON THE RADIO. THE ENGLISH MADE IT CLEAR TO ME, THAT NO ONE WILL COME |
| TO HUNGARY TO MAKE THE SOVIET ARMY MOVE OUT EVEN THOUGH SOME OTHER COUNTRIES |
| NEWS AGENCY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE WILL COME TO HELP. THEY ALSO |
| SAID IF ANYONE WAS INVOLVED IN THE REVOLUTION AGAINST THE COMMUNIST REGIME THEY |
| BETTER LEAVE HUNGARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THE SOVIET TANKS WILL RAPIDLY CLOSE THE |
| BORDERS, REINSTATE THE COMMUNIST REGIME AND PROSECUTE THE REVOLUTIONARIES. |
| BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS WERE SO DANGEROUS AND CHANGING SO RAPIDLY, I AND MY COUSIN |
| HAD TO LEAVE HUNGARY BEFORE I COULD TELL MY MOTHER GOOD-BYE. |
|
|
| IT TOOK US 3 DAYS TO CROSS THE BORDER TO AUSTRIA. THE FIRST DAY WE WALKED 25 MILES. |
| EVERYONE ON THE OTHERSIDE OF THE BORDER TREATED US VERY NICE. I AND MY COUSIN |
| ENDED UP IN CALIFORNIA. A PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER SPONSORED US. HE AND HIS CHURCH |
| PEOPLE WERE VERY NICE TO US. |
|
|
|
|
|
| AFTER RETIREMENT, I AND MY WIFE GOT BORED AND WE STARTED THE WINE BARREL BUSINESS FROM HUNGARY. |
| A FRENCH WINE MAKER TOLD ME HE KNOWS ABOUT OAK FORESTS AND BARRELS |
| VERY WELL AND ASKED ME WHAT OAK FOREST I MAKE OUR BARRELS FROM. I TOLD HIM |
| THE ZEMPLEN FOREST OF HUNGARY. HE THEN TOLD ME, THIS FOREST BARRELS MAKES THE |
| BEST TASTE OF WINE, EVEN BETTER THAN THE ALLIER AND NEVERS FAMOUS FRENCH FOREST. |
| HOWEVER, HE SAID VERY FEW WINEMAKERS KNOW THIS. THEN I DECIDED TO MAKE WINE |
| AGAIN. EVERYONE WHO USED OUR BARRELS, AGREE WITH THE FRENCH WINEMAKERS |
| COMMENTS AND THEY MADE MANY MEDALS FROM THE WINE THEY MADE IN OUR BARRELS. |
| THIS ALSO IS PROVEN BY THE WINEMAKERS OF HUNGARY SCORING HIGH IN WORLD |
| COMPETITIONS. |
