Paul Rupprecht

Paul Rupprecht for many years had been one of the prominent leaders of the Minnesota Hungarians. He worked intelligently and tirelessly, giving his knowledge to Hungarian-American issues. He was a member of the Communion of Hungarian Friends and first liaison of the MH to the HAC. Recognizing his talent and fairness, the Governor of Minnesota appointed him to the “Governor’s Commission on Eastern Europe” for special assignment in 1990-1992. Paul had been great help for the Hungarian refugees in 1956 and also helped Hungarian students during their stay and studies.

Drága Magyar Támogatóim!!
 
Isten fizesse meg a  segitségüket!! Csodálatos évben és élményekben 
részesültem az Önök segitségével! Nagyon köszönöm, hogy biztak bennem 
és ezt a lehetõséget kaptam, hogy tanulhassak. 

Az iskolaévem befejezõdött. A wisconsini fogadó családommal nagyon nehéz
pillanatok elõtt állunk! Teljesen úgy kezeltek, mint a lányukat! Nehéz 
az elválás. Nagyon hálás vagyok nekik is mindazért a sok jóságért, amivel
megajándékoztak!
 
Sok, sok szeretettel és örökre hálás szivvel gondolok magyar-amerikai 
jótevõimre .

“Azt a tudást és ismeretet amit elsajátithatok, visszatértem
 után szeretném kamatoztatni. Mindent  megtennék, hogy az
 Erdélyben maradt fiatalokat segitsem, hazámat és
 embertársaimat szeretném szolgálni”
