This is Julia Popa, my youngest daughter on a nice yugoslavian vacation. There was a ferry to the island, I don?t know which, where she went with her partner. He took the picture, obviosly. It was taken about 1989-90.
All three girls successfully got a college education. Two girls went to the Economics University, Zsuzsa and Juli. My daughter Juli also finished at the Theatre Arts College, in production management. She really didn't like foreign trade. So she learned French, worked for a few years in foreign trade, but only to Arab countries, where it was easier for her. Then she got into film. She worked in the film industry for a long time, as an assistant, then as a substitute production manager. Until she met her husband Peter Szilagyi, who she worked with. My son-in-law is a film technician, he's got a company, and works with different groups and productions. I have two granddaughters from her, Sara and Lili. Juli spends a lot of time with her kids, she can spend ours doing puzzles with them.
We live in a close community, everyday we telephoned. We aren?t together so often, but luckily I have my duty to do for them, they have me at their Kapolnasnyek house in the summer for two or three weeks with the children. They?re always well-organized summers because there's always a lot of kids.
