   Handwritten note by Audree Seibel Lewis on a file card for 
Edyth E. (Waite) Courtright, "I talked to Edyth, June 20, 
1986, and she said her husband's name is just Dick, no 
initial.  When he was born his mother asked the hired men 
what she should name him and they said, "Oh, Tom, Dick or 
Harry."  She picked Dick.
