It's Martin Luther's birthday! I'm not sure what year Martin was born, but he was Christa's classmate through the first few years she attended Gymnasium. Don't get Christa started, because she's got all kinds of witty anecdotes to share about "Marty Lute," as he was known in their little circle.One anecdotal Marty Lute story is that he went to a restaurant with Christa and the gang, most of them hangers-on, all of whom were dominated by him, even awed. They arrayed themselves around the table, jockeyed for his attention. A young waiter came and asked if they'd like to hear the specials. Marty said, "I will have beef."
Yes, said the waiter. "And the vegetables?"
"They will have beef too."
