Mentioned in an article about John Edwards in the NY Times today... "Alex Forger, a New York lawyer who represents Mrs. Mellon..." Apparently Mrs. Mellon, a 99 year old heiress known as "Bunny," responded to a request for Andrew Young to provide some money for Edwards for "personal purposes."
This must be an awkward name for a lawyer !

Bud Covert -- FBI Agent
This is real. Classmate of a friend. Recently retired as an FBI Agent. Remarkable things come out when I tell people about Remarkable Names.
Miss Conduct -- Ethics and Etiquette Columnist
... for the Boston Globe. Recently published a book Miss Conduct's Mind Over Manners
Geoff Sobering
An actual person. You can Google him. Perhaps he could be a spokesperson for responsible drinking.
Roger Bloch -- Woodcrafter
Produces really elegant wood items in NH. Saw at the annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen event at Mt. Sunapee NH Fall 2009.
David Papermaster -- Computer Industry Exec
This would have been funnier in the old days when computers spewed out mountains of paper... "One of the top engineering executives at IBM Corp.'s Austin operations is jumping to Apple Inc. But IBM has filed suit in an effort to keep Mark Papermaster, one of its top executive stars."
Holly Barry -- Enjoys Winter Holidays
A real person. Current with an email address at an important college way up North. Probably adds holiday cheer to an otherwise cold campus.
