Reading this reminds me of a funeral I attended of my grandmother's
sister-in-law back in the hills.
As my sister and I passed by, a couple of men sitting on the funeral parlor
porch, I heard one of them say, There goes the Wanstreet sisters. Wanstreet
is my grandmother's maiden name! They were probably happy to see and
identify us, even tho they were partly correct.
