re: #243 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
My mother’s mother was related to a Hessian who came over with the Revolutionary War contingent and decided to stay for whatever reason. For my part, I’m just impressed he managed to survive.
I’m Hessian too. Was mildly disappointed since I wanted something more “fun” like Bavarian. But hey I embrace it. I traded in my lederhosen for a frankfurter.
