Dunn’s younger generation, who | also make the pool their habitat I during these hot days, find the I little German migrant girl equally ' intriguing. They ply her with ques [ tions about her homeland, and many of them are learning first hand more about Germany and its people, than they are learning in school. Regina is the ward or Rev. and Mrs. Merle F. Sollinger. While in Dunn the Bollingers are visiting Mrs. Bollinger’s mother, Mrs. E. R. Holland at 111 Spring Branch Road. Asked what she liked best about the Dunn pool, she said it was the smoothness underfoot. She explain ed that she learned to swim in the Baltic and the North Sea, and j “under the feet are so many sharp 1 stones.” Her home In East Prussia was only about 30 miles from the Dan ish peninsula and two hours by train from the North Sea. By bi cycle she could go to the shores of the Baltic in about an hour. ' Her father had been a prosper ous farmer in East Prussia but lost his farm when the Russians took over and it was “collectivized.” East Prussia is a section of Germany that is now behind the Iron Cur tain. Her father was forced to take any kind of work he could get in order to make ends meet.and Mrs. Pass arge worked as a dressmaker to eke out the family finances. FATHER DRAFTED Then, in 1945, her father was caught in one of the frequent lab or drafts. With others, he was her ded aboard a train bound for Si beria, when a guard noticed that he was hatless. Passarge is bald, and the guard allowed him to leave the train to get his hat. When the train left, he was not aboard. After hiding out until it was safe, he gathered his family to gether and fled in a wagon 250 miles to the west zone, where a kindly farmer took the family In.' With the addition of the Passarges, there were 22 persons in the farm home ami the family soon left for Hamburg.
