Mim Not Mum on Serbia
There's a wonderfully talented woman named Pat Jennette who lives not too far from me, in Imperial, PA. Pat started her own business, Jennette Communications Group that publishes the Allegheny West magazine, and also, the Airport Area Community Phone Directories for Moon, Montour and West Allegheny in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.
The Allegheny West Magazine-Moon Edition-is published six times per year, mailed and distributed free to 15,000 residents and businesses in Crescent, Moon, and adjacent areas.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE:
"The people of our community never cease to amaze me. What wonderful neighbors you have! Many of your neighbors and friends are featured in this issue. Read about Mim Bizic of Moon, who has created an awesome Web site dedicated to her Serbian heritage."
ABOUT THE COVER:
Vol. 4, Issue 24, September 2009 had this caption on its cover:
"Milana "Mim" Bizic of Moon is on a mission to preserve her Serbian heritage. Read her story on page 33. Photo by Pat Jennette.
She succeeded well in her goal, as people across the world of Serbian descent are grateful to her for the posting of this article!

Pat had this photo of Pgh. Steeler great Franco Harris (#32!) and Nicky Jovonovich in a previous issue of her Allegheny West Magazine as aTEASER or coming attraction.
The caption read something like: "Franco Harris knows about the rescue of the 500 U.S. airmen, do you?"
Two tremendous fellas with one great book!
Wonderful Pat Jennette, editor
We sing "Zivela!" to Pat!
Ziv-e-la-a-a-a, Ziv-e-la!
