      I'll try not to bother you anymore but did want to tell you a funny story about the name "Othenia". When I was young, we were living in Rock Island, TN and some friends took us all to Nashville to the Cumberland Science Museum. We all walked in a room with birds and there was a Mynah Bird that could talk. He asked my sister what her name was and she told him it was "Sandra", he said her name three or four times. He asked Daddy what his name was and he told him "Raymond", (you see what's coming, don't you?) The bird said Raymond a few times, asked me, I told him "Glenda" and he repeated that, then Mother walked up and he asked her what her name was. She said "Othenia" He said "Oth", "Oth" "Oth", and he threw back his head and let out the funniest laugh you ever heard in your life. Everyone in the room about fell out laughing. He never could say it.

      Just had to pass that along after our conversation.
