Dale Wisely

You know, my name, Dale Wisely, is not that common. If you google it--and please don't--almost every return is either me or just some random appearance of the English words "dale" and "wisely" on the same web page. In addition, a lot of people that are distantly related to me, including a crowd of them in the Bloomington, Indiana area, spell their names Wisley. So, anyway, enough about me. Well, not quite. So, imagine my surprise when I found this on the U.S. Department of State website: (http://foia.state.gov/MMS/KOH/key_country.asp?ID=Latvia)

Really spooky. I don't think that's me in Latvia.

I know a lot of you John Smiths and Mike Wilsons and Richard Johnsons out there are used to this kind of thing.

Sincerely,

Dale Wisely

P.S. Now enough about me. How are you?

A thread titled Dale Wisely by Dale Wisely could only be followed by a thread titled ID by Sigmund Freud.

jus' kiddin' Dale

I can't comment on the commonality of my name (it's been tried by others here already

) because it might make me easier to track...

I will just include that my first name is Masonic in origin. The Tyler is the bloke with the big sword that guards the Lodge door from eavesdroppers, cowans, drywallers, and stucco artists.

It seems even spookier that there are three people named Alan Knabe on that list. Although one is Alan J. Knabe. Surely that name is not very common either.

This also seems a bit spooky to me:

I don't think that's me in Latvia.

Why aren't you sure one way or the other?

I'm just fine, thanks.

On nights of the full moon, I evidently turn into an electric guitar player in Cincinatti.

When I put my last name in google I get page after page of from my ninth cousin, Celine. We have never met, but she is in my genealogy.

I can't wait to tell the wife.

Also, I apparently was born in <a href="http://genforum.genealogy.com/ireland/armagh/">1806</a> and currently suffering from a really bad case of <a href="http://www.hallsnews.com/shopper080105/ ... ">death</a> .

Ah, but do you still have a googlism that reminds us that your nuts?

I apparently signed the following petition sometime between 1828 and 1834:

"To the Honourable Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Tennessee Your petitioners humbly represent that they reside on the north side of the south fork of the Forked Deer River in Haywood Co., that the people on that side of the river have had a battalion ever since the organization of the County and they compose the second Battalion of the Eighty Sixth Regiment, that they have heretofore had to cross the swamp of the aforesaid river to attend all regimental musters, that the swamp is something like three miles wide and that it is often times wholly impassable. They therefore pray your honourable body to relieve them in the premises by dividing the regiment, giving to them a separate regiment on the north side of said river."

I always was a lazy sod.

and if you ever get BACK to that area of Tennessee, you'll find out that is pronounced: Fork / ed. Not forked. Had that argument many a time over the title of a fiddle tune called "Fork / ed Deer".

Funny you should mention that. The headquarters of the Royal Horticultural Society is at Wisley in Surrey in SE England. From now on I'll always associate you with cabbages.

Oh, please, Steve. Everyone already does and you know it.

Apparently I am also Secrétaire Général of the Union Régionale des Ingénieurs et des Scientifiques de la Côte d'Azur

Côte d'Azur??? Sounds nice. I wonder how I like it.
