Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the help of Dr. Connie Mutel, Iowa University, for providing me with Fig. 3. Further, I also thank to Mrs. Bercedis Peterson for her information on Peter Neményi, and to Mrs. Clea Benson for obtaining information on the Neményi family. The comments made by Professor Dr. K. Hutter, Zürich, and an anonymous JHE Reviewer are gratefully acknowledged.
