Interview of Etta Goff on her time as a teacher in Germany following WWII
Etta Goff discusses her time as a teacher in Germany following World War Two. Goff talks about her inability to serve earlier because of her mother's illness and her concern that she was too old to teach overseas. Goff says however, that she passed her physical with flying colors and was off to Heidelberg, Germany at the age of 52. Goff speaks fondly of the German people, especially a man who was a POW in the United States during the war. She also describes the school house she taught in and the curriculum she developed. Goff is interviewed by Elsie Hornbacher.
