    When I was in high school, we had a swimming relay team that regularly featured kids with the last names Butt, Ferry and Bush. Occasionally, the fourth member was a guy named Peins.

    Different part of the country now, but a few years back there was a high school football coach around here named Donnie Dick.

    Huggy can also tell you that in Erie, Pecker's centreman was current Bruin Brad Boyes. They had a teammate named Steve Dix. Dix was nothing but a fighter, and wouldn't have ever played with those two, but I'm sure it was tempting for Dave MacQueen to throw out a Pecker-Dix-Boyes line one night.

    I once knew a guy named Josh Ham. Not really a big deal . . . until he married a girl named Virginia.
