My Hank isnt from Henry...

So....where does your Hank come from. I sense a good story here.......

If it's any consolation, my nickname at work is Reg. Maybe only the UK folk will work that one out!!!

Well basically I am named after my two grandfathers, Hiram Lloyd McElrath and Franklin Evander Hanna. I could have been called Hiram Evander but luckly I got Franklin Lloyd Hanna. Well my dad is Franklin Evander Jr. but goes by Frank. When he was in the Army his best bud called him Hank Franna just as a joke.

To make a long story longer when I was born my dad's friend JD swore that he was gonna call me Hank. It somehow stuck and there it is!

Excellent way to represent Ham

but the interesting fact was that she knew almost more about me than I do myself! Full name, address, 'phone number, etc., etc.

But she somehow did not get the number of kilts right!! Otherwise an outstanding article - you certainly give us something to be measured against. Thank you for championing the cause.
