Dear Ron:



Subject: LL-L "Linguists"



Well, Ron, you're another.

& a propos of adoption, we make our own posterity, if we have any integrity
at all. It seems to me you're doing very well yourself.



Yrs,

Mark.



Ron said:

    I certainly know *of* the missionary and linguist Theophilus Hahn.

    There are many Hahns all over the place, in Namibia also Carl Hugo Hahn.
Why, there are particularly many famous and infamous American Hahns, such as
Dave Hahn, David Hahn (several of them), Erwin Hahn, Hilary Hahn, James K.
Hahn, Jessica Hahn, Kimberly Hahn and Scott Hahn. And there is the
German-Jewish-Basque-Venezuelan-French composer Reynaldo Hahn (Marcel
Proust's lover). Not to mention all them German and Austrian Hahns, and the
Dutch (de) Haan's. However, outside my immediate family there is no blood
relation with any Hahn. Had my paternal grandfather not been adopted by a
Holstein farmer called Hahn, who knows what my surname would be now?
