Perhaps Prof. Dreisziger\u2019s most important achievement was his work as editor of Hungarian Studies Review<\/em>, the Hungarian diaspora’s\u00a0oldest continuously operating scholarly periodical. Founded by Dreisziger in 1974 under the title The Canadian-American Review of Hungarian Studies<\/em>, and with a name change to Hungarian Studies Review<\/em> in 1981, Prof. Dreisziger served as editor until 2018, an astonishing 45 years! As our Past President Prof. Steven Jobbitt, along with Dr. \u00c1rpad von Klimo put it:<\/p>\n To say that HSR <\/em>has been a life-long labour of love for N\u00e1ndor would be an understatement. Recruited by the journal\u2019s co-founder, Ferenc Harcs\u00e1r, in the early 1970s, N\u00e1ndor has been the heart and soul of HSR<\/em> from the outset and can be credited not only for the journal\u2019s many successes, but also its longevity. N\u00e1ndor helped steer the journal to new heights in the 1980s when HSR<\/em> became attached to the newly founded Hungarian Chair at the University of Toronto and was key to finding new and often innovative ways to continue publishing the journal after support from the University of Toronto diminished in the late 1980s and early 1990s. From the traditional typesetting of the 1970s, to the advent of desktop editing in the 1990s, to the current digital age, N\u00e1ndor did more than simply roll with the punches over the years. He adapted the journal in response to often abrupt financial, political, and technological changes, and built a solid foundation for a future generation of editors to build upon. It is an impressive achievement, and as the new editors of HSR<\/em>, we hope we can live up to\u2014and continue\u2014the legacy that N\u00e1ndor has left to us.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n The fact is that N\u00e1ndi produced one of the most wide-ranging, and prolific scholarly legacies in emigration, in the field of Hungarian and Hungarian-Canadian studies.<\/p>\n N\u00e1ndi is survived by his wife, the Budapest-born Zs\u00f3fia Erdei, his brother K\u00e1lm\u00e1n (Montreal), his daughter Jessica, and three grandchildren. I can also say that he was not only a mentor, a relative by marriage (\u201ckoma\u201d), but a dear friend. I and we all will miss him very much.<\/p>\n Oliver A. I.
