<div><font face="Georgia" size="2">My friend's last name is Wilfahrt. He is a
teacher and also shares a good laugh with the English speaking school boys
(regardless of age) about how his name should be pronounced. He plays
a harmonica in a local musical group. Excellent, excellent
musician! His uncle, "Whoopy" John Wilfahrt played the accordian for a
German polka band here in eastern Wisconsin. He was considered one of the
best ever.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Georgia" size="2">So, you can see that it is simply a matter of
perspective when it comes to pronouncing foriegn words.</font></div>
