And most of the time the requests we get are reasonable. But every once in a while, a beneficiary throws us a curve. Then we have to be firm. That's why this young man probably won't get his Rolls Royce. Acting as trustee — as executor or guardian, too — is a big and responsible job. We try to face each problem with a steady eye to both sides of the equation — the financial and the human.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Bluebird of Happiness The Memoirs of Jan Peerce by Jan Peerce Jan Peerce - Bluebird of Happiness Lyrics. The beggar man and the mighty king are only different in name, For they are treated just the same by fate. Today a smile and tomorrow a tear, we never know what's in store. So learn your lesson before it is too late. So be like I, hold your head up high 'til you find the bluebird of happiness. You will find greater peace of mind, knowing there's a bluebird of happiness. And when he sings to you, though you're deep in blue You will see a ray of light creep through And so remember this, life is no abyss Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness. The poet with his pen, the peasant with his plow, It makes no different who you are, it's all the same somehow. The king upon his throne, the jester at his feet, the artist, the actress, the man on the street. It's a life of smiles and a life of tears It's a life of hopes and a life of fears. A blinding torrent of rain and a brilliant burst of sun, A biting tearing pain and bubbling sparkling fun. And no matter what you have, don't envy those you meet. It's all the same, it's in the game, the bitter and the sweet. And if things don't look so cheerful, just show a little fight. Fore every bit of darkness, there's a little bit of light.

  • Czech Music in Nebraska
    Czech Music in Nebraska Ceska Hudba v Nebrasce OUR COVER PICTURE The Pavlik Band of Verdigre, Nebraska, was organized in 1878 by the five Pavlik brothers: Matej, John, Albert, Charles and Vaclav. Mr. Vaclav Tomek also played in the band. (Photo courtesy of Edward S. Pavlik, Verdigre, Neraska). Editor Vladimir Kucera Co-editor DeLores Kucera Copyright 1980 by Vladimir Kucera DeLores Kucera Published 1980 Bohemians (Czechs) as a whole are extremely fond of dramatic performances. One of their sayings is “The stage is the school of life.” A very large percentage are good musicians, so that wherever even a small group lives, they are sure to have a very good band. Ruzena Rosicka They love their native music, with its pronounced and unusual rhythm especially when played by their somewhat martial bands. A Guide to the Cornhusker State Czechs—A Nation of Musicians An importantCzechoslovakian folklore is music. Song and music at all times used to accompany man from the cradle to the grave and were a necessary accompaniment of all important family events. The most popular of the musical instruments were bagpipes, usually with violin, clarinet and cembalo accompaniment. Typical for pastoral soloist music were different types of fifes and horns, the latter often monstrous contraptions, several feet long. Traditional folk music has been at present superseded by modern forms, but old rural musical instruments and popular tunes have been revived in amateur groups of folklore music or during folklore festivals. ZLATE CESKE VZPOMINKY GOLDEN CZECH MEMORIES There is an old proverb which says that every Czech is born, not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a violin under his pillow.
