Names was Re: [GZG-OLC] February Update, now [OT] and about odd name coincidences...

Well Glenn Wilson should be uncommon (I thought as a child):

There is a Glenn Morris Wilson, Jr. who graduated from my mother's High
School the same year I did graduated from mine - his alumni association
thought I was him... Sorry, wrong person... I don't think they were sure
that I was telling the truth.

There are multiple Glenn Wilsons here in Saint Louis.  One with an
unlisted number, a past business in our little 'city' and a host of
unhappy customers.  Also (Same? Different?) one who is/was very active
in
veteran's group(s).   

Not to mention an apparent 'twin' in appearance (poor guy) who lived
near
me as a teen (there was this shopping mall just a bit far for my gas
money that he frequented)  and was several times observed by my (soon to
be ex-) girl friends or their pals having better... 'relationships'...
than I was.  Though he must have had a vastly different personality
(read
non-nerd) to be dating the cheerleader types he was reported to be with.

I was always attracted to the quiet ones.

This is without a doubt a strange and wondrous world (and/or the creator
has a really funny sense of humor...)

This has been a great thread even if it is definitely W-a-a-a-a-a-y OT.

Gracias, amigos!
Glenn
