    No, Don. Given the years of people unable to guess it, I'll reveal that it's EWALT, the last name of an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War. I'm SB III, so I got the same name as my grandfather. As a young kid I wanted to change it. At a class gathering prior to HS graduation, the principal read my entire name to the class to - as he said - get it out of the way. It led to my friends starting a chant, E-E-E-Walt, which carried over into college. It was minimally embarrassing at first, but it never really bothered me and actually led to laughs and to my being immune to embarrassment. Probably TMI but I'd like to think we had a bit of fun for a while during these slow summer days.

    Don, could you resend to me? I went to sign up and somehow I can't find the original email. I must have accidentally deleted it.
