Foreman of - If you walk into the Bank of Montreal in Port Perry and hear German being spoken, think nothing of it. It's probably manager Brent Hoag brushing up on the language, as he, his wife Sally and their two young children are 'headed for Germany in two weeks where Brent will begin a two-year stint as manager of the bank branch at the Canadian Forces Base in Baden-Baden. Mr. Hoag, 30, who has been manager here in Port Perry for just over a year, learned a couple of weeks ago that his application to go to Germany has been accepted by the bank. © "We're very excited about this," he told the Star last week. 'It's a big move for the family, and we are look- ing forward to it." Mr. Hoag expects to take up his new duties early in September. In the mean- time, there are dozens of small details to attend to on this side of the ocean such as selling the house, getting passports and other neces- sary documents, arranging shipment of household furni- ture, and trying to get at "least a rudimentary grasp of the German language using tapes borrowed from the Oshawa Library. Baden-Baden is a town of about 40,000 people in the south-west corner of West Germany, close to the French and Swiss borders and right on the door-step of the scenic Black Forest. The community is also famous for its hot mineral waters and spas which attract visitors each year from. all over Europe and North America. The Bank of Montreal branch on the Canadian Forces base serves a contin- gent of about 4,000 service personnel and their families. Although the language of business is English, Mr. Hoag expects that transac- tions will involve several currencies including dollars, deutchmarks, Swiss and French francs. There are about 20 employees at the branch, many of them rela- tives of the service personnel stationed there. Mr. Hoag told the Star that he expressed interest last February in joining the bank's International Service Social notes Mr. and Mrs. Gord Whyte have returned home to Hemet, California after visit- ing for the past month with Mr. and Mrs. Mike England and other relatives in the area. Mr. and Mrs. James Brunt, Mr. and Mrs. Laird Richardson of Wallaceburg were recent guests of Mrs. Cleve Kight and Mrs. Lillian Midgley. Mrs. Brunt was the former Betty Kight of Port Perry.

Once in Germany, the family will rent a house in a small town near Baden- Baden. The cost of housing is considerably higher than in Canada, but the bank will pay subsidies and also will cover the cost of the reloca- tion including their air fares. The oldest child, Rebecca, who is four, is due to start Kindergarten this year, and PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., August 13, 1980 -- 3 Local bank manager receives West Germany appointment Mr. Hoag says she will either go to English classes on the Forces base, or possibly be registered in a regular German kindergarten in the community. The youngest child, Ryan, is two years old. Both Mr. Hoag and his wife are originally from Lindsay, and he said that probably the most difficult aspect of such a move is knowing that it may be a year at least before they see their families again. Every other year, he gets four weeks "home leave", with travel expenses back to Canada paid by the bank. Nevertheless, Mr. Hoag says the family is looking forward to their new life in Germany. He plans to buy a car there and take numerous short trips to France, Swit- zerland and through Ger- many itself. Mr. Hoag joined the Bank of Montreal seven years ago, after a brief stint as a school teacher. And like most bank employees, he has had his fair share of moves during those seven years. Does he plan to stay in the International Division? "We'll wait and see how things go for us in Ger- many," he said.
