Lines: 17 Mark Weiser's (me) and Victoria Reich's children are all Reich-Weiser's, (alphabetize in the R's). A perfectly good solution to hyphenated last names taken from each parent, like our children have, is for the female children to pass on the female half of their last name to their children, and for the male children to pass on the male half of their name to their children. Thus, all my sons will pass a Weiser on to their family if/when they are married, and all my daughters will pass a Reich on to their family if/when similarly inclined. Logical, symmetrical, simple.-- Mark Weiser UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!mark CSNet: mark@umcp-cs ARPA: mark@maryland
