— Currier School bilingual teacher encourages culture (DIERSEN: All my ancestors immigrated to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s. In my opinion, if they had not been stuck in the German culture, they, and therefore me, would have been much more successful. Neither of my parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)
