Moving to Lancaster County has been interesting.
First, “Hershberger” isn’t such an unusual name. It is a Amish/Mennonite name, after all, and this is Lancaster County. There are a few of them here.
Since we came here 8 years ago, my wife has had to deal with people who were not expecting a Vietnamese woman when she introduced herself as “Alexis Hershberger” over the phone to them.
But even better has been this encounter that she related to me recently.
woman: Do you go to the Vietnamese church?
Alexis: No, we go to the Greek Orthodox church.
woman (surprised): Oh, when did you and your husband come to the States?
Alexis: We moved here from New Orleans 8 years ago.
