Subject: BLAGUES-L: bus driver anecdote - true

My grandfather was named "Thure Niels Alexander Lind", but since most
people could not pronounce "Thure" or "Niels" and he didn't care much
for "Alexander", they simply called him "Bud". As an active member of
the local high schools band booster club, one of the things he did for
them was to occasionally drive the band bus to different outings.  The
common practice at that time with regard to the bus driver was that they
would post a sign at the front of the bus that read "Your driver is:
[first initial].[last name]".  He always got a kick out of watching the 
reactions of new band members when they read the sign at the front of
the bus stating "Your driver is: B.LIND".
