I generally hate dialect but this more or less worked.

I do too! My first time, so I'm glad it worked at all.

This was roughly modelled on what I remember from my childhood in the rural Midwest. Back then the old folks were second-generation Americans, raised in a two-language household. Lots of dropped endings, alternate pronunciations, interesting cadences and word choices. Names like Sedlacek, Zahradnek and Schnoebelen so lots of Czech, German, Bohemian influences.

Rural Midwest? I would have said 1940s Kentucky, myself.

But it's six of one, half a dozen of the other ... you nailed it, and earned all five of the stars I gave you.

Thank you jaykaythree!

Probably I confused things in my memory. But remember, folks here past the Mississippi all came from somewhere, probably including Kentucky!
