Sad news that Jaskó István “Pitti” of Györgyfalva/Gheorgheni (Transylvania, Romania) passed away in February (1929–2013). Jaskó István was named Hungarian Master of Folk Arts in 1998. He was not only an outstanding traditional dancer, but also a village tailor and farmer. He made his own ‘room museum’ to display local tradition. Films of his dancing are in the Hungarian folk dance archives. A wellknown, willing ethnographic informant, and an endlessly kind and personable human being. Remembered by Busai Norbert.
