LaVerla Harris 'Played' In Mexico --And Made a Native Lose His Voice

She considered her lack of knowledge no hindrance until she discovered that one of her Spanish instructors could speak no English and the other refused to speak any.
The classes which LaVera attended were composed of American students who had gone to the university to study Spanish. She lived in a private home with three other American girls. The landlady had a large number of nephews, many of whom came to visit to get a glimpse of the Americans.
One became so excited upon being introduced to three foreign girls at one time that he lost his voice.

In a letter to the draft board, Coons said, "You people were very nice about getting my last job for me, and I was wondering if you could help me find another job."
