Joanne Anderson Reisberg: Hello, my name is Joanne Anderson Reisberg.
Reisberg is a Swedish name and spelled R-E-I-S-B-E-R-G. Berg means mountain in Swedish. As a teacher, I used to tell my second grade class that usually when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. So, here we have E-I. The E is long, and says its name E as in Reisberg. Although, one student in my fourth grade class did call me Mrs. Raspberry. My father called me Johanna, the Swedish pronunciation of Joanne.
