OUR
PEOPLE WRITE SCHWOWISCH
Nikolaus
(Nick) Tullius is originally from Schandrhaas,
but has lived in Canada for over 50 years. He
wrote an interesting book about his life,
entitled “From the Banat to Canada.” The book
was published a couple of years ago in English
and in German. Dr. Gehl reviewed the book in the
Banater Post. Now the book was also
translated into Romanian. Nick Tullius has
written several times on the Dialect page. This
time he wrote two short stories, memories from
his youth in the Banat. That was long ago, but
our writer remains a Banat-Swabian, even in
Ottawa.
MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH IN THE BANAT
Folks,
the times have surely changed! Today we’re
living all over the world, we have all kinds of
mechanical and electrical gizmos, we eat and
drink stuff coming from all over the world, but
our memories remain with us. Fortunately, the
bad memories are easier to forget than the good
ones. I want to present to you a couple of
stories that may be counted among the good or at
least among the interesting ones.
