David was a dentist and, if family legend can be believed, part of the training in those days was by correspondence school — and this at the University of Pennsylvania! He and my great grandmother lived in the Doylestown area for some years before moving into Philadelphia. Their home was on Columbia Avenue in Philadelphia.
My dad said that regular trips to visit his grandparents in Philadelphia were a mixed blessing. The most wonderful ice cream store in the world was across the street — but you also had to have a dental exam and any fillings done during the visit. He said that the old, foot-operated drill alone was enough to make you cringe, and maybe reconsider the ice cream.
The picture of David German (above) was taken from an oil painting which hung for many years in the home of his grandson, Ronald Thomas German.
