It's a funny thing about those nicknames (and I think we might have briefly discussed this), that the folks of that generation all seemed to have wacky nicknames. I can remember once my parents wanted to send flowers to the funeral of an old friend, but when they called the florist, they suddenly realized they didn't know the first name of the deceased. They had called him by his nickname for 40 years. I think they eventually thought to look it up in the phone book.Jacqueline T.
