Sounds like someone didn't know the word turnhalle (gynmasium) or turnien (gymnastics)where this Herr Dr. likely taught. There was a building on old l5th street with turnhalle on the keystone and I was told it was a German gym where they did exercises like they did in the old country. And his late residence would be about where the County Court House was built about l938?? In a message dated 10/30/2008 5:29:32 P.M.
