Re: [Cz-L] The forename 'Muniu' ? and other subjects

1. The Roman letter "J" is pronounced in the German alphabet as "Yot"
therefore everybody from back home (family and friends) pronounce my name
Jerry as Yerry. My father's Name was Oscar but my mother called him Osiu (a
common practice called in German "Verzierungsnamen").
2. As for students marching. In 1944 we lived on Universitaetsgasse 9 (ecke
Tomasczukgasse) just across the University complex. I don't know if what I'm
going to tell applies to all the students but what I saw from our balcony on
the second floor was marching groups arriving every morning and leaving
every afternoon singing patriotic songs like "Strana moya", "Tri tankista",
"Boy za rodiniu, boy za stalinu", etc..
3. As for the "Bierstubbe" on Austriaplatz which advertises the "Gambrinus"
beer, but also advertises the local "Beresa" beer of which our extended
family were the distributors.
