It happens to work out that way.  Never been in that neck of the woods and
have only met a few actual Yankees in my travels.  All of them seemed okay.
 My former mother-in-law married one of them but he is now a Canadian ... I
think.  He lives and was teaching in Canada and now retired.  Last I heard
he was still living in Canada and as far as know still owns a house not too
far from where I currently am.  ~80 kms north of here.  I saw it once
except he wasn't there at the time.

Possibly.  Offhand I'd say not the D part.

That would be my best guess.

Life is good,
Maurice
