Subject: RE: BS: People from your town called?
ClaireBear ... Many, many years ago I lived in Felton, just down the hill from you in Scotts Valley. Back then, there was a wonderful Danish restaurant that was family run. I don't suppose it's still there?

My Father's family came from Finland. Over there, it was (is?) the custom to attatch the name of your town to your own name. The more you moved, the longer your name. My Father was born with five birth names, one of which translates as "Pennisula", for the area his people came from. Bob
