Because inquiring minds want to know, I am listing some of the people in my
family.
1. I have a distant Aunt that lives somewhere around the greater Boston area.
She is a spinster and somewhat of a Control Freak......So much so, that she
added on to her original name: Her original name is: "Eastern Star".....She added
"Order of the" to her name.
2. I have a female cousin who works in Law Enforcement. Her original name is:
"Tin Star".
3. I have a rebellious cousin who lives on the Gulf Coast. His original name is:
"Southern Star".
4. I have an uncle who works in the truck [ tractors ] manufacturing industry. His
original name is: "Western Star".
5. I have a distant uncle who played football for the Green Bay Packers. He was
somewhat persnickety and decided to add an "R" to our beloved last name. His name
is: "Bart Starr".
6. I have another uncle who is the therapeutic skin creams industry. His original
name is: "Blue Star". He even attached the word "ointment" after his family name.
[ Traitor ! ].
7. I have another cousin who works in the automotive, satellite communications
industry. Her original name is: "On Star".
8. I have two, twin cousins who went in to the military......They have done pretty
well for themselves. Their original names are" "Bronze Star" & "Silver Star".
9. I have a cousin who had a somewhat Leading Role in one of George Lucas'
films a few years back. His name is: "Death Star".
10. One of my closer cousins was extremely talented in a lot of different things.
A successful entrepreneur if you will. His original name is: "Shooting Star".
11. I have a successful sister who lives & works in Hollywood, CA.........She works in
the film industry.........Most of you have probably seen her on The Big Screen at one time
or another. Her original name is: "Movie Star".
12. As you can imagine, when our family gets together; with all of our peculiarities
and oversized egos, there are a lot of fireworks........Some of the neighbors have even
heard our "get togethers" and commented that we must be having [ wait for it ]:
Yep, ..."Star Wars".
13. O.K. one more !......I have a successful brother who is very musically talented.
For years and years and years, he has played a lot of different musical instruments,
...locally......He finally got a few of his friends together to start a band......Now, they
are touring around the world playing at different venues.....Who would have thunk it !
His original name is: "Maynard Star"......Not quite sure what happened with that
"naming convention".
So, how is it with you and your family ?.....Do you have family gatherings ?
I hope that you had; and will continue to have, ...a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
