How do you pronounce Jaroslav Cimera's last name? My students always ask me.
I've been saying with a "ch" like it's Italian, but I'm not sure if that's right. If anyone knew him, or was active in the area (Chicago, I think) I'd love to know!
Thanks!

Re: How do you pronounce "Cimera?"
Cimera is Bohemian likely from what is now known as the Czech Republic. An online pronounciation guide for Czech states: "c is pronounced like in “Streets.”, so I vote for pronouncing it like "Tsimera'.
