Re: Truett

Oh my. People will believe whatever they want to if they also trust the source. Truett blew it? if the horse is named Truett, just shoe it. Whyever did they do it?
DH's aunt, very old and with the beginnings of Alzheimer's, went to church and heard the minister say (NB I'm not going to swear that he actually did; but she heard it) that Gary meant Darling or something close - Beloved or something. And since this is her great-nephew's name, she waxed lyrical about its appropriateness, in which she saw the Hand of the Lord. I looked polite and interested. If it made her happy, why not? But it's a major feat of imagination!
