[Magdalen] The Theology of Clerical Beards

[Jay Weigel]

I also pick up accents quite easily, which helped in language classes (my
German teacher said I sounded like a Berlin native, while my Spanish
teacher said if I became more fluent I could pass for Colombian) and also
helped me when I did home health, as the people I worked with didn't
consider me *quite* such a "furriner", although they knew I wasn't from
"around there".
