Some Swedish math professor has my name and me and him make up the first page of the Google results. My father had a project with my first name as acronym for the project so that shows up as well.

I believe my mother has all of the first page hits.

edit: now because of facebook, there are a few hits not about her on the first page.
You've got the same name as your mother?
Damn...you really had no hope in life did you....

Had I been a girl, I would have gotten her name. -_-

And a Happy 90th Birthday to my great-uncle Paul, USMC, 3rd Tank Battalion, 3rd Marines.  Veteran of Bouganville, Guam, and Iwo Jima.



Still won't buy anything Japanese.  God Bless the Marines.

The British had tanks, right. Do you think they just drove them over the channel?

Yes. The Aussies, for example, found old obsolete British Matildas very useful in 1943-5, even though by then they were death-traps if deployed in Europe.

And CdM?

I'd like to join you in wishing your Great-uncle "happy birthday". :)

They learned not to after 1940-1942.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Overwhelming modern notion that the Pacific theatre was fought at sea & in jungles on small islands.

It pretty much was wasn't it?
The Asian theatre is another matter bu the Pacific theatre...islands and ocean.
