I knew a fellow in the Air Force by the last name of Clapsaddle and another of German extraction, last name Ditterlizzi. I went to highschool with a Dusty Rhodes and another young lady, Sandy Poole. In JC I met Sandy Beech. Ronald Glappenski was just known as "Glapp". Of the football player variety I always liked Balldinger! Villapiano was interesting but rather mundane when you translate it: Littleton (or "Little Village").

Names can make you or break you. Johnny Cash (and Carry?) demostrated this with the song "A Boy Named Sue"!
