My grand parents came here from Greece about 1915. My father came here in 1939.
My grandpaents had a candy store and owned the corner of 34 & Walnut. Their son and my uncle became a Wharton Grad. My Mother attended Philly Academy for piano and became a teacher. My father had a restaurant in Germantown.
My grandmother and father would have me read the funnys and DC Comics outloud so they could learn the vernacular.
Today I have to say NO Hable Espaniol to my BANK TELLER and every on every 800 prompt. We are a nation of Babel. The glue that got the USA thru dustbowls, wars and depressions is gone. The thought of national pride IS gone and entitlement is IN.
