because at the Amish store in Arthur, the women ran the place and were always talkative and friendly. Once we brought some friends in from Germany who didn't speak English. We explained about the store to them, and one girl came up and said, "Can you understand us? We can understand you!" The Amish in Arthur tended to speak German amongst themselves. My sixth grade teacher actually taught for a while in one of the Amish schools, and said the kids were well behaved and well taken care of. This would have been back in the 1950s.
