"Prior to taking my Dutch exam I prayed, "Lord, if you can create a Dutch exam that I can pass, I will be impressed!" "

If you need a refresher -I'm sure my wife's brother-in-law could help you out- he still has the heavy Dutch brogue -even after 25 years! (It's a rarity in the 'states' to hear this anymore in the dutch reformed communities -most of the first generation dutch immagrants still living moved over to Canada after the war. Every single Canadian friend of mine at Calvin had parents I couldn't understand very well!)

Ah, that accent. My brother's father in law has it. Odd to hear it. Of course, he's an odd man.
