I was asked by a close friend if I can help his Grand Mother (GROSSE MUTTER) who is returning for good to Germany. I told him I was traveling on LUFTHANSA via Frankfurt, and she was also traveling from Toronto and she was given a free ticket back home to Frankfurt. But the dates did not coincide. But I will be meeting him and his Grand Mother here at Pearson, some time in the future.

So, he sent me a link to learn German. : For those who are interested.

I was in the library and there I picked up an old Saturday Evening Post, vintage edition, and read through one of the anecdotes in that edition and was laughing my guts off and tears were running down my cheeks and so went to freshen up and return, and you won't believe, the magazine was gone when I returned back. But I remembered the Author and the Characters on that page and if anybody runs into any library, please find out more about this author if you can. His Name is Dave Murrah, a US citizen who writes about a character he created. I could not find any here. May be some one can research and find a little bit more about him.

Good Luck.

Magazine : Large format, Saturday Evening Post.
Issue, date unknown.
Character in the joke, Heirich Schnibble.
Author of the Anecdote : Dave Murrah.
He may also have books written with this German Immigrant in the story. fh.

Good source. Thank you.
It will be really FUN to possess the knowledge of many languages ... but with my own experience it is not easy to allocate time and grasp the things particularly at middle age. I am trying hard to learn French and Spanish for the past one year and due some interruptions, I could not go further .... hope this year ...
