Hi -

I am a native of Dayton, Ohio, who now works as a news reporter for a newspaper in Arizona.
In the early 1990s, I researched and wrote a manuscript about the history of the Hungarian community in Dayton.
I am trying to find anyone who remembers Elek Polagyi (possibly Palagyi), who used to own the Hungarian Village restaurant and also later opened the Hungarian Village restaurant in Dayton in the late 1930s.
Are any of Mr. Polagyi's relatives still around Delray or the area? I would love to locate any vintage photographs of the restaurant when he opened it in Dayton. He used to bring in a lot of Hungarian Gypsy musicians to play in the restaurant and they lived above it.
I look forward to hearing from anyone!
