There is/was an audio engineer who shares my name exactly


According to some search engine, there are 13 people in the US who
share my name. And Richard is a very common name.

Casady



I am surprised there are not more. My name, including the spelling of the
last (which is a little bit unusual) is shared by at least a hundred
people, if not more. Your last name (assuming it's real) isn't that
unusual.

In Sweden, my last name is as common as "Smith" is here.

Here's a site to look at
http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm

I looked because when I was a kid there were more Johnsons in Chicago
than Smiths.
Might have changed since, but I sure miss those Swedish bakeries.
Locale can make assumptions tricky.
When I was about 13 there was a crew of us kids that were inseparable
troublemakers.
Tom Czajkowski, Rich Plebanski, Ed Zurowski...and Fred Smith.
Sometimes Richie Waszak joined us.
His ma made excellent kielbasa.
