• CALG 10/22.08 Letter : Szentannay Győző to ALG 1982/1208

• CALG 10/22.10 Letter : Simon Miklós to ALG 1966/1225
  Miklós is sorry that he is sentimental about his meeting with ALG. It is a rare and moving occassion when a former student meets his old teacher the first time after many years.

Miklós invites ALG to visit their home in Evanston where his wife opened the Lili Simon Piano Studios. He wishes happy Christmas. Hungarian
• CALG 10/22.11 Letter : Simon Miklós to ALG 1980/1225

Győző's new hobby are personal computers and teaching programming. Hungarian
• CALG 10/22.14 Letter : Szászdi Lenke to ALG 1976/0520

• CALG 10/24.08 Letter : ALG to Mezey László 1982/0723
  Unfortunately the dates that László suggested to meet in December will not work for ALG. ALG needs to be Europe in September and consequently would like to make the trip to Hungary then.

Hungarian
• CALG 10/24.09 Letter : Mezey László to ALG 1982/0702

• CALG 10/24.11 Letter : Mezey László to ALG 1982/0406

Hungarian
• CALG 10/24.20 Letter : Dr. Klaniczay Tibor to ALG 1981/0330

  Ottó has spread the news about ALG's visit to Budapest. Everybody looks forward to see ALG visit his old school. Ottó invites ALG to visit not only Budapest but the new high school at Gödöllő as well. He sees now that ALG is outraged that the St. Norbert Order was not successful in getting its old buildings back from the state. Yet the Premontré Order in Hungary is lucky to have raised money from donations and from the restitution.

István, having said that, did not want to generalize this attitude to all Canons of Gödöllő. He encloses several praising reviews of his two recent novels.
