Yup. I was Pat Keyser then. Regrettably, I don’t use both my names because they rhyme and sound silly. Besides, in our day, women took their husbands’ names. A little later, there was the hyphenating thing when women — and some men — put a hyphen between their two names. I thought that was not a bad idea but again, there was the rhyme business. (And besides, I always wondered how future generations of hyphenated people would manage all those names.) Anyway, if I had been born later, I would have just kept my original (maiden) name.
