You might be right. I'd thought about that, too. He would have been allowed to worship long before WWII happened, if he ever was an immigrant to the USA. I don't remember very much about him.

My father never really liked that family anyway. They both refused to come to the wedding of my mom, who was 17, and my dad, who was 22. They did not approve her marrying at such a young age.

My dad's dad's family lived in the mountains west of Denver, Colorado, and traveling in those days was harder than it is now. The year was 1942, so that was before Eisenhower created the interstate highway system. They got married in San Angelo, TX.

Nevertheless, when they finally got to meet my mom, they welcomed her with open arms. My mom and dad got more love from them than from my mom's side of the family. Oh well.
