:Nice to know! Up to now the only things I knew about Belgians that contributed to the US (not so many left our little country) is that some Walloons even settled earlier than the Dutch in New York, and that some sought a better life in the car industry in the surroundings of Detroit at the time it was booming. However, what you pointed is not totally surprising as Belgium has many churches and the quarries of fine white sand to make the glass. One region had so many little ponds because of the quarries that it has been described as the Belgian Lake District - LOL! I'll have an eye at the Glass Company article. Cheers,
