| Introduction | "The Greco-Amish are little-known outside of a few isolated pockets of rural Lancaster County. They are one of the more bizarre experiments that bubbled up and boiled over from the American melting pot and their unusual culture has remained mostly immune to outside influence for nearly a century. Hard work, especially in the food business, religious piety, and love of both saving money and, ironically, playing the horses, are the most prominent features of their lifestyle." [From: A Snapshot Of The Greek-Amish Community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by Levi Apostopopoulos, 1959] My name is not Bill, and don't call me Gil, but everyone knows me as Jakey. |
