Yes, before I went off to college, I lived in the Johnstown area of PA which is a big time Slovenian stronghold, especially the East Conemaugh section. I'm still a member of SNPJ and got my 50 year membership pin in the mail on my 68th birthday. There is absolutely no SNPJ presence in the South but I've maintained my membership because my Grandmother took out a life insurance policy with them for me when I was a kid and she would roll over in her grave if I let it lapse.

Small world. That is where my Great Grandfather, Joseph Ulle lived before he moved to Pennsylvania. I only learned a few words of Slovenian from my Grandparents because they were reluctant to teach me and my great grand parents could only swear in English.
