Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Joe Magerac / Joe Magarac
So the accent is on the middle syllable of Magerac, right?

In the 1970's or 80's my brother had occasion to repair some equipment inside a Pittsburgh steel mill. He had thought that the production line would all be automated, but he told us the actual scene was incredible. The furnace was open and glowing hot, and great big men were standing on a railed platform above it, ripping open bags of additives and heaving them in. Joe Mageracs, all of them.
