Having just read an article that mentioned a Thai student at Lehigh named Chaipattanawanich, I was reminded of the following incident.
A number of years ago, a salesman visited the Concordia Lumber Yard peddling mailboxes. During his pitch, one of the topics that arose was what size lettering should be used for names on the mailbox. He asked if anyone knew the longest name in the area. Dad immediately volunteered the name ‘Schlesselmann’. Was he correct or can someone come up with a name greater than 13 letters long? (No hyphenated names please. They weren’t used back then.) |
