That tidbit > was printed in the Comstock Newspaper (Chronicle?). Well, I used to go to school with Tom Sawyer and Patty Cake, and to church with Paul Newman. I questioned it, and he said, "No" my name really is Paul Newman. And my dad was named John Wayne, before there was a movie star by that name.
