"My dear Jim: My father had 2 sets of these glasses after WWII. I'm told they would be collector's items if I had them, but this is the last of the Mohicans. I thought you mi...ght get a chuckle - VICTORY! As my father said, we beat those fascists... I think he was puzzled when Uncle Miska was here & working with the E. Germans. When I spoke to him in my high-German accent from 4 yrs study with my German high school teacher, he almost clicked his heels. He was not very impressed with my Byelo-Russian hick accent. His body guard said I spoke "Cleesto-po-Byelo-Russky." I guess that was a no-no. Thought this would be a tickle. Happy Birthday -- Yours, Marya"
