First, she was part of an extremely powerful and wealthy family in the region. The Jickeli clan comprised scientists, merchants, politicians, lawyers, doctors, professors, etc. Also, Lisi felt she had learned so much from Berta Jickeli. She had lived with the family for five years, absorbing the incredible knowledge and savvy of this family, and truly loved them as her own. The difference in class, age, and status (boss to employee) gave Mrs. J the right, in her mind to upbraid Lisi, as she would have her own child. My grandmother never resented it, amazingly, and corresponded with her and her daughter, Lisbeth, for 40 and 60 years respectively. Only death ended the relationship.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-10062990107789336442012-05-22T17:42:32.230-05:002012-05-22T17:42:32.230-05:00Thanks for making such a spell-binding tale of you...Thanks for making such a spell-binding tale of your family's history.
