David,
Regardless of how it "should" be spelled, the Dean's name is spelled Dunkle.  Lots of immigrants had the spelling of their names inadvertently changed by immigration officials when they came through Ellis Island. There are at least 4 spellings of my last name that I'm aware of, and my maiden name was adjusted because it had been spelled with an umlauts.
