-=> Quoting Jean Halverson to David Hartung <=-
 DH> Well, the ethnic majority in the Deerfield area is Norwegian! Got so
 DH> that I considered filing for minority status(my heritage id
 DH> German)! 
 JH> 
 JH> The  place where Steve's family settled also has a large  contingent 
 JH> of Polish folk. Grandpa Halverson once said "Woe unto the man who
 JH> greets a Polish neighbor in Norwegian". Apparently the Polish consider
 JH> that an  insult. Grandma Halverson was German though. A Roecker.
 JH> Did you ever come across any Austinson's (Eystenson)? Just curious.
 Nope, the name doesn't ring any bells.
 JH> Ilks...
 
 DH> To do this explanation justice, I will defer to one of the senior
 DH> Ilks in the echo. Short version that several years ago, a drive-by
 DH> made a nasty comment about Rush and his ilk, and thus was born the
 DH> Order of the Ilks. To join, you merely declare yourself to be an ilk,
 DH> and then practice the salute. The Ilks salute consists of an upraised
 DH> fist, with the middle finger extended!
 JH> Well, I am an Ilk then. I already know how to do the salute, having
 JH> learned it in my uncivilized teens.
