Dutch the podcast - Episode 22 - From Frisian Immigrant Kid to American University Prof

When Henry Baron came to the USA he was fourteen years old and hardly spoke any English. He had drop out of school after only a year in America to find work, because his immigrant family needed the money. Despite these obstacles he went on to become an English professor at Calvin University in Grand Rapids. We talk to Henry about immigrating as a teenager, Friesland, the books he translated from Frisian, the Dutch-American subculture and his rich and accomplished life and career.
