Bobby grew up in a French/German family. The story he told his cousins, often when he and his Mother were visiting Oma, his Mother’s Mother, the ladies talked in German, when they didn’t want Bobby to know what they were talking about. In talking to Bobby’s cousins from Louisiana, the same took place in their homes but in French. You can imagine the same thing happened when the Family visited in Eunice, Louisiana.
