VGN Shockley Branch

[NW Mailing List]

Mike,

If you have an interest in such things, you might look into your family 
history and see if there is a connection.  Many years ago, I was 
traveling hundreds of miles away from any home I had ever known and was 
asked if I was related to any local Rickmans.  I said "no," but learned 
afterward that I very probably was related to them.  The same has been 
true for every other Rickman whom I have ever met.  While I am not so 
sure about alan Rickman, what little I know of my English family history 
suggests that we may be (distantly) related as well.

So perhaps you have some family connection to the Shockley Branch after 
all.  In that case, it wouldn't be a study in egomaina, but rather a 
study in family history.
