#1 My high school Latin teacher was a Hungarian who escaped during the revolution when things started getting really shakey. He had been in the Army and had worked on laying minefields along the Austrian border, so he knew where to go and NOT to go.

His hatred of Communism was red-hot but still poignant. We could get a whole class period wasted by just mentioning Communism then sitting back and listening to him rant (whoo - talk about a "mad Hungarian").

He was (and still is) a true American patriot. He became a US citizen and has a fiercer love of his country than the vast majority of native-born Americans.
