Alura.

Back in the late Thirties, in the comic strip "Buck Rogers," there was a fairly long sequence in which Buck and Col. Wilma Deering didn't appear. It followed the adventures of Wilma Deering's teen-age niece and nephew (both human, Earth-born kids), who managed to get themselves stranded on Mars. Their long-range goal was to somehow get back to Earth, but their immediate goal was to stay out of the clutches of the dreaded Martian Tiger-men who were hunting them. The nephew's name was "Buddy Deering" and his sister's name was "Alura."

During the late Fifties, I had an excellent classic guitar teacher named Edward (Bud) Hern. I don't know what his wife's maiden name was, but her first name was Fern. Love overlooks many things.
