Hell, Jeff, just name it 'Wolfgang'. Can't get much more interesting or
meaningful than that.

The "gang" in 'Wolfgang has a cognate that survives (barely) in English
today in "gangplank", the imperative command "gang way!", and perhaps a very
few others. The immortal Bobbie Burns (of "men and mice" fame) and his not
insubstantial following would also immediately recognize it. With this in
mind, it comes as no surprise that one of the more astute among us (and let
us all thank the Lord that he IS still among us) should recognize both the
felicity and the uncanny pertinence of such a mellifluous
cognomen......under the circumstances.

Welcome back, Stan. Bad news is better than no news......if you know what I
mean.
