I could hardly understand her French.<br />People who have funny customs or peculiarities stick to our minds so much better. My old uncle Günther always held on tight to the table when his wife wanted to drag him home from a party where he had drunk a little too much and insisted on making speeches.<br />I wonder what people will say about us one day, Reya?<br />I like it how you can mix the most incredible sad stories with funny accents.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-7032368801495580162012-06-12T15:17:56.841-04:002012-06-12T15:17:56.841-04:00Edie wore glasses as thick as coke bottle bottoms ...Edie wore glasses as thick as coke bottle bottoms and spoke French with a New York accent till the day she died.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-2042520361150582852012-06-12T13:39:38.712-04:002012-06-12T13:39:38.712-04:00It breaks my heart to read of your shtetl and how ...It breaks my heart to read of your shtetl and how it ended, along with all the Mellikiers. I wish I could read some of their gossip, too, and most of all, I wish I could make them all alive again. It was my father`s generation of German soldiers who brought all this trauma into the world. What a loss. I can imagine your haughty, intelligent, witty aunt, and many of your family were probably like that, even if they were short and had much hair on their arms.
