Interview with German Neighbor in Rivercrest- by Isabel Amend

I interviewed my next door neighbor whose name I unfortunately do not know. She is German and moved to America in 1977, when her husband took on a job with the World Bank in Washington D.C. She taught at a German school in McLean for a while and then retired around the same time when her husband became a professor at Georgetown University.

*I did not point the camera directly at her face to avoid awkwardness, so it is centered at her dining room floor.
