"Ah one an ah two":(;>)) He was Dutch. It used to drive some of his musicians up a wall on how he would withhold some of their pay that would go into a special account that they could only draw from with his approval. He wanted to teach them to save money. Speaking of New Jersey, his sister used to own a farm up in Sussex County along Hwy 206 near Hainesville. It's still there with the beautiful old farm house and barns with white board fences all around. And, a little farther south, in the Ross' corners vicinity, are the old Tanis farms. Vic Tanis came over from Holland when he was 5 or 6 years old and bought his first 40 acre farm at the age of eleven and never stopped buying farms. By the time WWII (The Big One) came along, he had 1100 milking Guernseys with his own creamery with a rail siding running into it. He was the same with his employees (many of them young Dutch boys) in that he would also help them save money and when they became older they would have enough money saved to buy their own farm land. Some of the farmers up there with Dutch names are those boys and are not descended from the Dutch that originally settled the area some 300 years ago. In that they lived so close, he almost had to know L Welk's sister and perhaps "Larry" as well.
