Sorry, Luddite, but my "proper" name is Harry or harry, your choice,
*not* Harold. My birth certificate says "Harry." I was named after my
mother's brother Harry, who was a serviceman who was shot and killed
while serving in WWII with the U.S. Army in Italy. His legal, proper
name was Harry, not Harold. Or harold. Oh, and the usual name from which
the nickname harry is derived is not harold, but Henry.

You mean 'harry' the service man? Why capitalize your mother's brother's name, harry?

It's good to know there was at least one patriot in his family.
