Erzsebet Radvaner's daughter Julia Radvaner working on the pioneer railway

This photo was taken in 1965 in Budapest. My daughter is pictured working on the pioneer railway. Sometimes she was a ticket collector, sometimes she set the traffic light for the train. Juli was head of the class in the gymnasium. She was accepted at her first application to the Theater Academy. The next day I went to work very happy and met our legal adviser, who told me, 'You shouldn't be so happy. It is a bumpy career, someone either is very successful in it, or not.' I've thought so many times. I am very sorry for Juli's actual life. She got her diploma in 1971, and she was in the provinces. She got a contract in Debrecen first. From there she went to other provincial towns. I retired when Juli got her diploma.
