    I once knew a lady from New Jersey. I lived in Knoxville at the time but am from Chattanooga. Anyway, she called me from Decatur, Georgia, needing me to come get her. Long story. (BTW, this was WAY before smartphones and maybe before MapQuest - not sure.) When I asked her where she was, she said, “DEK-a-tur.” I made her say it over and over again, and I was so annoyed with myself because I was super familiar with North Georgia. How had I not heard of this place? I finally made her spell it. “Oh, De-CAY-tur,” I said, laughing.

    I love my native Tennessee and sure do miss it up here in Vermont. I think I got the pronunciation right on all of them except Mosheim and Lafollette. Mosheim is German and Lafollette is French. I thought it was MOSH-ime and LafollETTE so I learned something new about TN today. My favorite is the Swiss-German town named Gruetli-Laager.
