[Interviewer]: Your father was a circuit court judge in Appleton, but give me a little bit more of the Van Susteren family history. It sounds like a good Dutch/Fox Valley name…
[Greta]: My father was one of 13 children. He grew up in Little Chute, Wisconsin. His father was Dutch but I know very little about him (he died in the 1940's). His Mother was French and German. Of course, the Little Chute area is very Dutch. In fact, growing up in Appleton, just 3 miles from Little Chute, it seemed like everyone in my class had a last name that began with "Van." I must add that my Mother, who grew up in New York, was 100% Irish.
