My next teacher (more on her soon) was everything a young piano student could ever hope for. But that's enough about her -- when your book is in serial form, you have to leave the reader "wanting more". you know. ;-) Ms. Wolpert was something -- I think she would have scared Mozart or Beethoven. The way the Japanese and the Germans were dealt with during WWII was awful. Even today, there are folks who hate them. You can see this sort of psychology with other inhumane behaviors as the result of prejudice. I can’t say I actually “missed” her — but she did come across my mind often during the growing up years.

Do you recall missing her at all? I know she wasn't a joyful sort of woman, still...

I did learn many of the German people in Michigan were sent to Fort Lincoln, in North Dakota. I also learned all the detainees were freed in 1945. Whatever happened to Miss Wolpert is, as you said, a mystery. Never heard from her again.

I wonder if she was sent back to Germany? Or if your parents just didn't want her to teach you any more. It's a mystery! And that’s all you remember or ever found out?
