I was happy to see this. Yall were going real good on this subject and then dropped it. I was really enjoying it. I have one to tell. Some of you will remember Juan Rabb. of Drew Central. We pronounced his name Jew-Ann. When I got to college and was reading Don Juan, I remembered Jew Ann Rabb. I am very happy I did not pronounce the title of the work "Don Jew Ann". I have told this story many times.
