MIKOR LESZ VÉGE A HÁBORÚNAK?Kilenc órakor keltem föl. Elmentem a kávéházba reggelizni.
- Mikor lesz már vége ennek a háborúnak? - kérdezte tőlem a pincér.
- Bizony, sejtelmem sincs róla - feleltem.
Reggeli után a borbélyhoz mentem.
- Lesz-e valaha vége ennek a borzasztó háborúnak? - kérdezte a mester. 
Korsós László egész kanadai életében minden nagyobb magyar szervezet és projekt középpontjában állt. A Magyar Szent István Bál-archívumban azt találom, hogy ő volt az egyik fontos vezető a magyar bál rendezésében -mint floor committee elnök 1975-ben - 76-77-78 –ban. A floor committee bizottságban azok az emberek voltak, akik biztosították a bál előkészületi terveinek kivitelezését, -ami több mint egy évig tartott-, és jelenlétükkel biztosítsák hogy a bál éjszakáján minden gördülékenyen menjen. Ebben a szerepben kiválló feladatmester volt, tucatnyi közreműködő és táncos segítségével. 1979-ben alelnök volt Gyulay Blanka elnöksége alatt, majd 1980-ban a Bál elnöke.
In 1981 he joins the Ball Board of directors (Szenatus) and we note that he also becomes President of the Comite Hongrois (NagyBizottság) and to my recollection, he remains in that post for decades coordinating all of Hungarian life in Montreal.
In the meantime, even after his Ball Presidency, his beloved Ball always receives his special attention. He is for many years, the choreographer and the darling dance teacher of Debutantes and escorts. This function keeps him able to oversee the proper functioning of events the night of the Ball. He never stops fussing over every detail of the Ball.
He was a force to be reckoned with...his oratorical voice...be it on the board of directors of the ball, the Comite Hongrois or during practices or the night of the Ball.
The same applied to his tireless efforts at the Foyer Hongrois. The Foyer Hongrois was built through the force of Blanka, Korsos, and Kovecses. Blanka and Laszlo then guarded over it closely. It is a testament to them that things were run so exceptionally well that the Foyer became a jewel winning the respect of Hungarians and government leaders. Korsos and Blanka were masterful in networking politics and were able to constantly bring to our events the top federal, provincial and municipal politicians.
As for the Hungarian Ball, what was the legacy of Korsos? He brought the above organizations into a modern space. He could work with the traditionalists while introducing the new wave of workers and ideas. He brought in some of the future leaders: Joseph Kovacs, Ben Nyeste, George Lengvari, George Pap, George Donat, Nick Hornyak, Tibor Jeledi, Steve Sari and many other newcomers to the organization who opened up new ways of doing and promoting the Ball.
By the time of the Nyeste, the Pourcelet, Blanar, and Donat Balls, the Hungarian Ball was a well-oiled machine, had well over 1000 guests, and was the highlight of the Montreal social season as well as the top debutante ball in Canada.
So for as long as was possible, Laszlo remained with the ball either instructing the dancers or helping with arrangements and always with his powerful voice, keeping his eye on the next generation of workers.
We have lost an important leader of our community who for as long as he could, was an active participant in all that was Hungarian in Montreal. We thank Laszlo, for his lifelong dedication to the Hungarian community and we thank his wife Buci for always being the helper at his side.
