SAD BUT TRUE: Earlier this afternoon I posted a short anecdote about my Dad. One member here has suggested that the information I posted was perhaps untrue. I assure you all that TED MORROW did exist and did know 28 languages. If you doubt that then call the UNITED STATES MILITARY to verify this fact and/or the Delaware Valley Translators Association. They will verify this claim. I would appreciate a little more RESPECT for my family here. No more nasty PERSONAL ATTACKS on my own or my father's character.
Here is a copy verbatim of that exchange:
Mom Nanhi-Marie: When it comes to formal and/or self-taught educational experiences I often think of my Dad. In 75 years of life he learned 28 languages and taught his children phrases in each one of these tounges. DESPITE all that training and his rare IQ of 220 he sat me down and said to me on my first day of kindergarden, " When you go to school whatever words you use that the other children do not understand it's probably not English. There are several things in ANY language that are the MOST important things to know: PLEASE, Thank You, You're Welcome and Excuse Me. And the most important thing you can ever ask or learn about anyone is WHAT'S YOUR NAME or WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO BE CALLED. " I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know a very rare man with a huge intellect and more importantly, A BIG HEART !”
ANOTHER MINISTER: “ When i was a child, my mother was the queen of Brazil, the world chess champion, and won the soap box derby every year. My father was a magic leprechaun from the land of Oz. I inherited all of their superior traits and therefore all must bow down before me and worship me. No one may in any way question these assertions, for to do so wold be to DISRESPECT me, which is, of course, the WORST crime imaginable on the planet earth. “
