What a treat to see your comment! I ...Dear Marc, <br /><br />What a treat to see your comment! I cannot adequately describe what an important impact your grandfather had on my life. It is my sincere belief that we were in the same place in the world at the same time by divine design. <br /><br />My views of the world, of the world's views of Americans, my understanding of the importance of historical memory... all of these were profoundly touched and nurtured by him. Five months is not a long time, but it was seminal to my growth as a human being. <br /><br />To my great regret, I did not continue corresponding with him after several years. Certainly that would have been a continuation something just as meaningful as our face-to-face interactions. <br /><br />I would love to hear more about your family and yourself, if you should choose to share it. My email address is rkweis@gmail.com. <br /><br />PS I am a bit shy about trying my German in public because I haven't had much practice. However, if you prefer, I will make a strong effort to use it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742448536443675799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812058365408775514.post-73137889106673802162014-12-08T18:33:23.419-06:002014-12-08T18:33:23.419-06:00Hi Ruth,

I spent a month in Germany when I was in high school, but was a bit too young to truly appreciate it all. To have been able to work alongside somebody like Herr Grözinger and learn from him (especially the differences between the northern dialect and Schwäbisch.)<br /><br />I was never fortunate enough to meet Herr Grözinger, but I know a number of people who were, and by all accounts he was a genuinely nice fellow. It sounds like you found him to be just so. ;^)<br /><br />Take care,<br />PatrickPatrick Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690842509026070505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812058365408775514.post-39847698974284064732014-12-08T18:19:28.532-06:002014-12-08T18:19:28.532-06:00Hallo Marc,

He was working as the head cook for a 'Snellimbiss', and I was a lowly kitchen helper. Mr. G was so kind, and so patient as I learned to use the German language I had learned in high school. He listened patiently, instructed as he corrected me, and talked about an endless variety of topics. Having been raised in northern Germany, he spoke High German as well as the southern dialect of Schwabenland, and he was so good about explaining the differences. What an education! The account written here is very much as he related his experiences to me. Thank you for the chance to be reminded of one of my favorite life experiences! <br /><br />Ruth Kemalyan Weis, Ovando, MT, USAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742448536443675799noreply@blogger.com
