I can also recall 1949. when I was called into the office of the superintendent of the high school. And he said. "I am sorry. You cant win the statewide prize of this nonprofit association because you have to have both of your parents born in America." My father. a German immigrant and an American citizen. had worked in the United States Patent Office on chemical patents in the First World War. He and other American citizens of German ancestry were hounded by many. Most Americans of German ancestry have heard those experiences. whether they occurred in Nebraska or in California or in Washington.
