Dorathy V. Eberly Fry: Pennsylvania German Teacher and Storyteller

Co-edited by C. Richard Beam and Jennifer L. Trout. Dorathy V. Fry was raised in the dialect-speaking home of her grandparents, which enabled her to speak knowingly of daily life on a PA German farm. She earned her teaching degree from Millersville State Normal School and later taught at Fairview, Fetter's Clay, and Ephrata Schools in Lancaster Co., Pa. She was a major contributor to the publication "Pennsylvania German Words in Context." The author regularly visited with Dot Fry and Dot would tell stories about her life; these taped interviews have been transcribed in this volume. The stories are printed in PA Dutch and English. Paperback. Center for PA German Studies, 2014. 415 pages.
