...which certainly would have fooled almost anyone into thinking the name was Dutch, not Eastern European, except the Infant Jesus of Prague on the console TV gave them away. :)

(Sorry. Many years ago (70's)I lived in Cleveland for two years, where me and the black draftsman were the only non-Catholic, non-Eastern European-named people out of 30 staff in our office. The people were nice, the food at the potlucks was great, but I'd never experienced being a "minority" before. And then there was the day of the office lunch picnic, when they asked me to bring chips and, without thinking, asked my draftsman friend to bring a watermelon. Ooooo...)
