Post by: Thrawn on December 01, 2002, 06:33:18 PM

I just talked to a customer who's last name was Colon.  

Of course he didn't say it was Colon, he said it was C-O-L-O-N...but it was Colon.

The Giants used to have a pitching coach named Dick Pole.
I wonder if he named his son Rod.

You might be making fun of a descendant of Christopher Columbus... Cristobal Colon (stress in the second "o") :)

BTW... A little recent history trivia. A direct descendant of the discoverer, named also Cristobal Colon was killed by ETA in 1986. He was vice-admiral of the Spanish Navy.

Pongo, it is easy to do. That jungle is some of the worse on the planet.  Use to drive from the Pac to Atlantic couple of times a week. A lot of our officers were DOR Navy exFlyers and they all wanted jungle boots and shades. Interesting trip.
