Re: [IRCA] Re IRCA 38-54-3 German?

["Joe Miller, AB8YP" <ab8yp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maria,

That is very interesting. 3 of my grandparents grew up
in the U.S. (Michigan & Pennsylvania) but spoke German
within the household. But all of their parents
insisted that the children must learn English in
school. 

I sometimes feel that I am Dutch by assimulation as
there are a large number of both Germans and Dutch
here in Michigan, particularly on the west side of the
state. Listening to shortwave radio for 40 years, I
can listen to Dutch or German language programs and
generally understand the content, but I get in trouble
if I am asked to speak in either language.

I am very happy to see you on our list, and I wish you
the best.

P.S. Our family name actually was Müller but in the
mittelfrankendeutsch dialect, it was pronounced Miller
so we went with pronunciation instead of written.
