    Very interesting names! I wonder what it means? Do you remember friends whose families named them with names beginning with the same letter? Hmm….I wonder what this says about our name choices for our kids….

    We’re going to the reunion in Philadelphia. It should be a very Rip Van Winkle episode. I haven’t seen most of these people since 1984.

    I don’t think Richard knows about that reunion! Is it your whole year, or just your particular group? Can’t wait to read about it in your blog!

    Everyone in hubby’s family has a name beginning with “J”

    Everyone in my family had a weird nickname: Batchoy, Yoo-Hoo, etc etc
