Help[Opinions] Re: Obituaries and names
in reply to a message by Lillian
Lillian! I am in the Houston area also! Yes I've noticed the wedding gowns here -- and I also like to check out the weddings for names. For some reason the names of the bridesmaids, best man, groomsmen and so forth are especially interesting to me. Everybody's usually about the same age, so that's part of it.
And no, I'm not in the least bothered by you pointing out my age. I could very possibly be the oldest here, which I kind of enjoy.
No, I have no account/profile.

I'm not sure if you're the oldest, I don't know his exact age but I think it's very close to yours: there is a poster here named Cleveland Kent Evans, a professor of psychology at a university in Nebraska, he's the current president of the American Name Society. He's astoundingly knowledgeable about names, as you would expect. He's fun to talk with. You and he are of an age, I think.
I don't think I have it listed in my profile, but actually my husband David is 54. All my life most of my friends have been older than me.
Anyhoo... Nice to meet you! *shakes hands firmly-but-not-too-much* I'm sure we'll run into each other on the boards, I'm here more often than I should be, haha! CKEvans posts frequently on the Facts board, along with a very cheeky, funny Greek fellow named Pavlos, he's a card but brilliant. Check out the Lounge board too; it can be very entertaining... ;)
