Dear Lynn and Judy,

Regarding German names, a number of years ago Joan Young and I decided that
the names of two of our female ancestors were a bit unusual. Mine was
Waldburga Vogel (1577-1635) and hers was---oh darn it, I can't remember! It
was something along the lines of Cowabunga!

Joan, bail me out on this one and tell me that her name wasn't really
Cowabunga!
