| If you have never heard of Don Wolf of Kansas City, then you are missing a great story. This man has been the guardian angel for the sisters and orphans at St. Theresa's Orphanage in Zagreb for the past 10 years or more. He has taken their cause to many people and tirelessly raised funds to keep building from collapsing and to keep the sisters and their efforts from bankruptcy. He visits there every year and has many of the photos from his visits on the Internet. Unfortunately, the government does little to support their efforts and they must rely on the generosity of the public. If anyone is feeling generous this holiday season, donations can be sent to the orphanage through Don at: St. Theresa's Orphanage c/o Don Wolf 3535 North 63 Terrace Kansas City. Kansas 61104 Unlike other charities, ALL MONEY goes directly and immediately to the orphanage. The nuns at the orphanage can be reached via e-mail at: se000@globalnet.hr Submitted by Nancy NancyM3292@aol.com distributed by CROWN (Croatian World Net) - CroworldNet@aol.com |

| Do our London based friends or Rijecani know of John Babarovic? And is this Susak (island) or Susak [ sushak] (part of Rijeka - across the River Rjecina). In New York Times it says Susak, Yugo. (geography for 70 years ago). All Babarovics that I know are Croatian. Seems like very accomplished life. op-ed November 22, 2001 John Babarovic, 69, Architect at Airports, Dies By THE NEW YORK TIMES John A. Babarovic, an architect who worked on major airport projects as well as residential architecture, died on Nov. 2 in London, where he lived. He was 69. The cause was complications after heart surgery, his family said. Mr. Babarovic was director of long-range planning at American Airlines in the late 1960's. He represented the airline in the design and engineering of the Super Bay Hangars in Los Angeles and San Francisco. These were the largest in the world at the time, designed to accommodate four of the new Boeing 747's and two DC-10's under one roof. He also designed the American Airlines terminal at San Francisco. While with the firm of Harrison & Abramowitz in New York, he worked on the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center and the Citibank headquarters. At the time of his death he was working on a double- decker docking system for the Airbus A380, a superjumbo jet that is planned to have two seating levels. Mr. Babarovic was born in Susak, Yugoslavia, and was a graduate of St. George's College in Argentina and Syracuse University. He served in the United States Army, in military intelligence, in the Korean War. He is survived by his wife, Anne Crawford Babarovic of London; a sister, Frances Baglantzis of New Rochelle, N.Y.; two daughters from a previous marriage, Juliana Babarovic Jaynes of Newport News, Va., and Christina Maria Babarovic of London; and a grandson. distributed by CROWN (Croatian World Net) - CroworldNet@aol.com |

The invitation is enclosed hereto. Participating in this Exhibition are 332 authors from 42 countries with 746 ex-libris. The text of the invitation and list of awarded authors, as well as the catalog of this Exhibition can be found on the E pages of the University Library of Rijeka ( http://www.svkr.hr) On this occasion the original speeches of the distinguished Latinist, _imun Ko_i_i_ Benja, that he gave at the Lateran Council in 1512 and 1516 will also be exhibited, wherein he describes the horrible sufferings of Croatian and its people under the Ottomans, and his appeals for aid which came from nowhere. Besides, only on the opening evening, one will be able to see the editions of the printing-office that this banished bishop set up in Rijeka (1530-1531): Psalter, 1530/1531 (reprint from 1976) The Roman Office, Rijeka 1530 (the original is property of the National and University Library) Misal hruacki (Croatian Missal), 1531 (the original is property of the National and University Library) Book of the Cross, Rijeka, 1531 (reprint from 1984) Book about the lives of Roman popes and emperors (Knji_ice od _itija rimskih arhierjeov i cesarov), Rijeka, 1531 (original-fragments, property of HAZU) Book on the Character of a Member of Monastic Order (Od bitija redovni_koga knji_ice), Rijeka, 1531 (photocopy of first page) This Exhibition is organized thanks to the good will and understanding of NSK and HAZU, as well as CROATIA Osiguranje, Branch-office Rijeka.

Hence the first guest appearance is to take place in Berlin as a sideshow of the main exhibition of the heritage of Glagolitic script and Croatian literature: "Three Languages and Three Scripts of One Nation" at the Staatsbibliothek in the beginning of 2002. The exhibit is easy to transport and the catalog is printed bilingually (Croatian and English). Thereafter the plan is to organize guest appearances in Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. We welcome all possibilities for guest appearances abroad. If any of our friends from the AMAC network wish to have the catalog they can place an order This is one of the ways of expressing our Croatian awareness and our place in the world. As to how successful we have been in this sense, we leave that to the decision of the numerous visitors to this Exhibition and to our E pages. We also invite our dear friends of the AMAC network to visit us. Soon the E pages of the University Library of Rijeka will come out with a virtual exhibition of Glagolitic script as an electronic reflection of the actual exhibition that has for 33 years now since it was first put up been a display of this theme that is unique in the world.
