When I stayed at a Unitarian-Universalist compound in North Carolina in 1998, a guy named Hans would come up frequently from Augusta, Georgia. He was German by birth and upbringing. But he had lived in the state of Georgia for many, many years, and his was a combination German/Jimmy Carter accent. Quite interesting!
