Mark Haller and his wife Frankie, a photographer by profession, hung up beautiful scenic pictures of Yugoslavia taken by Frankie while on a trip to Yugoslavia with her husband. (Frankie is an Ameri- can who loves our culture and customs — thanks to her husband Mark for this). Tte festivities were to start at 4:00 p.m. but people were already to arrive at 3:00 p.m. proving our people were anxiously awaiting a joyful gathering. They were greeted at the door by Karen (daughter of Joann and Drago Mladinich) and Pero and his wife Jelena Kuzma- nich. After the social hour and dining, Milan Vranis, former vice president of the Croatian Fraternal Union of America in Pittsburgh, and now a California resident, introduced our quests, Invited but unable to attend were Stepan Miosic, former editor of Nase Novine in Toronto, Canada, and the Consulate General of the SFR of Yugoslavia in San Francisco, with both transmitting their regrets and wishing us well and much success. _ We were honored with the pre- sence of the Honorable Judge Roy Ferkich, a native San Pedran: Mr. Joe Zaninovich who was employed with the Star Kist Tuna Company until his recent retirement and his wife, Mrs. Zaninovich; Mr. Rudy Svorinich, President of the Yugos- lav American Club of San Pedro; Mr. Brad Dexter, Hollywood actor and film producer and his wife, Mary Bogdanovich Dexter and her sister Nina Bogdanovich Tritanic. Both Mary and Nina are the daughters of the late Mr. Martin Bogdanovich. Their father contri- buted to the growth of San Pedro in so many ways. He was the owner of the Star Kist Tuna Company. Today in San Pedro, there is a new park called the Bogdanovich Park located on 25th Street, east of Western Avenue, near the fire Station. This park is being readied into an athletic park for soccer, baseball, etc. per information rece- ived from the local San Pedro newspaper, the News Pilot. It is expected that a dedication will be made in the near future. Hopefully there will one day be a biography written on this great man if there is not one in the process already. Milan Vranes read a news release from Tanjug of New York indica- ting that Brad Dexter will be producing a feature film on Tito which will be a co-production between a U.S. company and Mr. Cvetkovich of Kosutnjak of Belgra- de, Yugoslavia. The film will be based, at least in part if | unders- tood correctly, on the writings of Sir Fitzroy Maclean on Tito. Sir Fitzroy Maclean was Church- ill’s emissary to the partisans parachuting into Yugoslavia during World War Il and in time, knew Tito quite well. One of his first books on Tito was “The Heretic” later writing “Escape to Adventure” describing his adventures with the Yugoslav Partisans. It is my under- Standing he has written several books on Tito included is “Dispu- ted Barricade”, and his last book recently published is a “Pictorial Biography of Tito”. Impromptu speeches, which we- “fe very well delivered, were made by Brad Dexter and Joe Zaninovich. Ljubo Vukmanovich pitched in for Nase Novine as did Drago Mladi- nich. Monetary donations for Nase Novine were accepted. A list of donors and amounts will be submi- tted in a forthcoming article in a er 23, 1981 dro Celebration serbo-croatian by Ljubo Vukma- novich, Distributing Nase Novine anni- versary booklets was another co- mmittee member, none other than our dear Cika Marko Kramarich. In our midst were John and Mary Veljacich of Los Angeles CFU Lodge 177; Toni Wright of Holly- wood CFU Lodge 865; Nikola Kirtnich of Sierra Madre with his daughter and son-in-law and the people of San Pedro were also happy to have John Gega with us. For a moment we saw Mate Glavan with his wife and then he was off again overseeing that everything was going well and getting the room cleared of tables for dancing. Pete Mazich, 17 years old (bless his young heart — he performed beautiful) was a one - man orches- tra. | Suddenly in the crowd, a deep voice sung out “Yugoslavia” belo- nging to one of San Pedro's handsome young men. As he approached the foot of the stage, still singing, more handsome yo- ung men followed, one-by-one, joining arms around each other and singing while Pete Mazich started up the music and then the whole room of people joined in on the song “Yugoslavia”. Right after that, these young men started the Tito Kolo without music and dancing to the rhythm of their deep strong voices. Every time they would sing the words “Siri Kolo” (meaning join in the circle to enlargen it) another young man would join in. What a glorious sight this was! Pete Mazich then began the music. A lovely lady, Branka, encouraged by the crowd, sang a medly of our songs. (Branka, I'm sorry | failed to get your last name). Most of the people danced while others talked and sang at the bar. The two brothers, Joe and Omed Gilic, and Tony Fiamengo worked so diligently and voluntari- ly contributed their services at the bar, During the affair, Mrs. Julia Miholancan’s colorful costume from Posavina which she was wearing was admired by all. To this writer, the highlight of the affair was watching Drago Mladinich really enjoying himself. He was singing everytime | looked at him. | was happy to see his whole family together. | had alrea- dy met his lovely daughter, Karen, but today met his handsome sons, Philip and Thomas with his lovely wife, Milica. The Committee expresses their heartfelt thanks to all the lovely people that attended this affair and for making it joyous. Apologies are made for the inconvenience caused when additional tabies had to be set up and for not calling table numbers in order to avoid a long queue at the buffet. Thank you all for disregarding these and any other faults that might have been overlooked. 7 The committee also thanks eve- ryone mentioned herein for their voluntary services performed with a special thanks to Mate Glavan. Thank you San Pedro Yugoslavs, for today was the day this writer, being a new resident in San Pedro, fell in love with your warmth and friendliness shared with you on the celebration of these two big events . — Ziveo Dan Republike — Zivele Nase Novine.
