Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.

the guy I'm talking about lived just outside Garnett, south then east - don't remember the name of those towns.  Gr'ma Gertie knew him.  His last name was Meyers and he named his boys Rope, Tie (Tye) and Cash.  I'll think of his first name, probably in the middle of the night.  ;D

P.S. "Butch", sounds like it

I have a distant cousin that is Rheavaughn, Frank had an uncle whose name was Smiles.  We knew a man in West Texas that went to court and had his name changed to Jackass Andy.
