there was a discussion the other night ...
At my house, talking about baseball, where Phillip mentioned there's a lot of Hispanic ballplayers named Edgar, and he was laughing about the idea of somebody in Mexico or the Dominican Republic snapping their fingers and going "Caramba! Let's name him Edgar!"

I had an uncle Edgar, one of my mother's brothers. He was a bit of a going-from-one -job-to -another, and a drinker.Very nice looking man.Just like in a story, though,in a big industrial disaster, he saved a fellow worker's life, carrying him to safety,although his own leg was broken.

I have a Honduran student named Edwin. I suppose it's an exotic foreign name to them, even though my only association before my student was my cousins' grandpa who died about 25 years ago. My student has darker, but not quite black, skin and short, curly hair. When one of the teachers met him last year, she said he looks like Gary Coleman.
