Hi there!
I go by Emery but my authentic name is Imre. I am 1st generation American and for the first 2 1/2 decades lived in Northern New Jersey. Then Texas called and have been here for long period of time. More then 4 decades.
Both parents are from Hungary and they came to the USA in the late 1940’s. I had the privilege of having for outstanding grandparents who instilled the love of Hungary into my being! By the way my parents also kept the light of Hungary shining in my life. I had the opportunity to go to a Hungarian grammar school were all the teachers and Nuns were Hungarian. I also had by invitation to speak at a Hungarian Ophthalmology congressional meeting in 1996 which was truly an honor. It was interesting because my presentation started in Hungarian but I abruptly continued in English to appease the remaining audience. The Hungarians said please continue in our language but I asked for their forgiveness and continued in English and yes they were bilingual.
I will always remember my Hungarian roots. I am proud of all the famous Hungarians in the arts and sciences that made this world a better place. Yes,the color red white and green is my blood type, because my family gave me the transfusion of Hungarian love.
