An old "German guy" - a naturalized US citizen - had a beer-scented complaint for me about my display at German Fest: "
The first German paper was published in 1944, NOT 1844!" he stated emphatically. "Nope" I said, "
publishing in Milwaukee spanned 1844 to 1950." "1944!", "1844", "1944!", "1844". He eventually walked away. Another contradiction by other German Fest attendees followed. They had delivered the old Milwaukee Herold in the city
AFTER 1950, one even worked in the office!
But the publisher had left the City of Milwaukee in 1950 or shortly thereafter, but keeping the name of the paper.
