Hi
ReplyDeleteI am a Hungarian motoring historian and I am trying to find relatives of Marjorie Szekely. Her father was of Hungarian origin, who built airplanes in the 1920s and 1930s and later converted jeeps in the 1950s. Thank you for any lead you may be able to provide.
Sons are named Michael and Anthony. Daughter is Margo Staton. All lived in Creve Coeur at the time of Harry's passing. That's all the extra info I have
