Classic Jacob Luttmer. We were riding home from work one day, 4 of us squished in the front of his Ford pick-up. Jacob and his son Grants were trying to figure out how many bricks they had layed that day.
Grants was figuring one way and Jacob another. Finally Grants said, "Dad, you don't understand."
Jacob's crazy Dutch temper fired up and he yelled, "I don't understand, I don't understand. Don't tell me I don't understand."
All the while he was turning the steering wheel back and forth in time with his yelling. I thought sure we were going to crash, but it was funny seeing all 4 of us going back and forth as he turned the wheel.

I've also heard that Jacob Luttmer liked hot dogs--or "weenies." Care to share that story?

To get the eyewitness account of that story, you would have to have a seance, but the story as I heard it (many times I might add) is as follows. Ben was the Luttmer's home teacher, and on one of his visits, Jacob was incensed. It seems that they were having Veenies for dinner and vun veenie turned up missing. Jacob was ranting and raving over where the vun veenie went.

Vell, anyone knows dat sidevalks bring Beer Halls, vich of course leads to a vicked city. Funny, Alpine now has tons of sidevalks, but lag behind in Beer Halls!

A note about the vun veenie. Somebody ate the missing veenie during Jacob's long winded blessing on the food.
