Dear Queenie,
Who is this George von Trapp you referred to in your answer to Lonely Daddy (Wednesday, October 28)?
Queenie, why is it okay for him to mess around with the nanny, but not for Lonely Daddy? Furthermore, Queenie, you spelled his name wrong. Shame on you!—Just Curious
Dear Just Curious,
I spelled the name correctly. It was not “George,” it was “Georg” without a final “e” (pronounced “GAY-org” not “Jorj”). Check Wikipedia if you do not believe me.
As for his conduct, have you never seen or heard of the movie “Sound of Music”? Baron Georg von Trapp did not “mess around” with his children’s nanny, he married her.
And, just for the record, that movie was a fictionalised (rather romanticised) account of a real Austrian family who became known as the Trapp Family Singers and eventually emigrated from Austria to the United States, where they enjoyed considerable success.
