I was checking in a guest at Kaibab and asked the lady for her last name. She replied " H. O. A. R" I said, "Oh, like the frost." She got such a look of relief on her face that I hadn't come up with another interpretation. If I was her I would have changed my name. I also knew a Mrs. Death. I pronounced it,as I thought correctly, Mrs. D'Ath. It is a corruption of a french name. However she snarled at me that it was pronounced DEATH! I would have changed that too. Then there were the Fuque's in Tennessee...
