[Magdalen] My favorite name...recently

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, my 10th grade History teacher was one Donald Duckles. Fortunately, he 
was a great teacher, students liked him, and so the name didn't seem to 
cause too many jokes, etc.

I also knew a Sue Hogg once.

A not-uncommon first name for (older) men up here is "Perly". So there's a 
parishioner in the parish in Lyndonville where Lee often does supply named 
Perly Dinsmore.

However, my favorite name is the pianist Alicia de la Rocha - it just seems 
to roll right off the tongue.

When I was in college there was a voice person, maybe a teacher, named—and I 
am not making this up—Dingwall Fleary.
