Panama Canal Costa Rica 100th Anniversary Passage through the Panama Canal and Costa Rica A voyage aboard the Small Ship M.Y. VARIETY VOYAGER March 1 to 9, 2014 PROOF u Small Ship—only 36 Cabins! u 100% Ocean-View Cabins N N N u All Shore Excursions Included Dear Temple Alumni and Friends, Few experiences can match one of the world’s most dramatic voyages, a cruise from one ocean to another through one of the greatest man-made wonders of the world, the Panama Canal. An engineering marvel when it opened one hundred years ago, the 50-mile passage through the Panama Canal continues to astonish the most veteran traveler. Experience firsthand the mighty locks that raise and lower ships 85 feet using no other power than the force of gravity, accomplishing in mere hours what would have taken a three-week circumnavigation of South America in years gone by. Just as impressive is the cruise through the lush tropical jungle in the Gaillard Cut, a channel hewn through solid rock eight miles thick where the canal slices through the rugged Continental Divide. We invite you to join us for this voyage of a lifetime featuring the historic Panama Canal during the 2014 centennial-year celebration and the unspoiled rainforests of Costa Rica at the best time of year. Further to our comprehensive itinerary, visit three UNESCO World Heritage sites and Panama’s ancient San Blas Islands, where the Kuna Indians live much as they did centuries ago. Tour one of acclaimed architect Frank Gehry’s newest designs, Panama City’s Biodiversity Museum. Experience Costa Rica’s world-renowned and protected national park— rainforests, islands and archipelagos that foster one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet. This exclusive offering features the intimate M.Y. VARIETY VOYAGER, launched in 2012. A true small ship, M.Y. VARIETY VOYAGER carries only 72 guests and provides deluxe accommodations along with an intimate atmosphere to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow alumni.

    Belgian Laces Volume 14 #53 December 1992 Belgian Laces Vol14 #53 Dear Members, The end of the year is approaching rapidly in Belgium and in most of Europe, the children are anxiously looking forward to December 6, when St Nicolas will come with gifts for the good children and the “martinet” (whip) for the bad ones. There will also be plenty of speculoos and massepain oranges and apples. Just thinking of the expectations, the fears and joys make us long for the holiday atmosphere of “the old country”. Then come the family reunions of Christmas, the joys of being together and sharing the blessings of the holidays. The New Year too brings special traditions, where the chi1dren will read their specially prepared “New Years Letters”: one for the parents, one for the grandparents and one for their godparents, who each will give them a few francs or a special present The children have worked hard on these letters, wilting them using their most beautiful handwriting and vocabulary! New Year too is the time for resolutions, decisions and promises. Decisions… promises… we asked you last year to help us raise the number of our membership to 400. We are delighted to let you know that we gave membership number to the last subscriber. Thanks and congratulations to you all! We want to do even better for 1993 and hope to reach or pass the 500 mark by the end of the year. With your continuous support, we should be able to do just that. The more we are the more we can help each other.

  • James & Frank Nagy –
    James & Frank Nagy – Easton Brothers Gone To War Part of the Historical Society of Easton’s year-long series: Easton in the Service. Immigrants aboard the SS Kroonland heading from Antwerp to New York for a new and better life in the early 20th Century It was cold and raining when a 20-year-old Hungarian by the name of Gabor Nagy disembarked the SS Kroonland on February 13, 1906 at the port of New York. The crossing from Antwerp had taken ten days. The ship’s manifest listed his final destination as Perth Amboy, New Jersey where he would reside with a “friend” until he found employment. After being examined at Ellis Island and answering a battery of questions, he stood in line with the others to exchange his money for US dollars. He was given exactly $9.23. The Money Exchange at Ellis Island in 1906 Welcome to America, Gabor! The RMS Caronia docked in New York on the evening of February 28, 1911. It had taken her eleven days to sail from Naples. The Caronia had the distinction of being the only ship in the Cunard fleet to be named after an American: Caro Brown, the granddaughter of Cunard’s New York agent. She would also be the first ship to transmit an ice warning to the RMS Titanic at 09:00 on April 14, 1912. Departing the ship at New York on March 1, 1911, was 17-year-old Hungarian Gizella Peto. Her final destination was listed as Bridgeport, Connecticut where she would join her father, Imre.
