I am surprised so many people commented on this... to elaborate more, I was visiting in Roslyn Washington, with a very nice Croatian lady in the little history museum they have there. She speaks the old language fluently,- unlike myself, and told me that they used to call the young Croatian men "bo-hunks". I thought she was saying bull-hunks, but hey, my hearing suffers a little bit. Roslyn is an old mining community in the hills of Washington, it was used in the setting of the television show " Northern Exposure " which was about an Alaskan community. Anyway, it was interesting to see such dialogue about such matters, which I consider useful in understanding what our forefathers had to endure, and the challenges they overcame in becoming U. S. Citizens. Thanks for the insightful comments. Dave
