You Vanderbilts are just such publicity hounds. But we love you anyway.

Auto-correct error perhaps? I hate that software....wouldn't be surprised if it change Vanderboegh to Vanderbilt since it didn't readily recognize it. Just a thought.
Yeah, well "Bracken" is easy. The word may go back to Old Norse, but at least it means something in English. ;-) "Vanderboegh" on the other hand (and as proud as I am of it) is just a PITA. If I had a nickle for every time I've been called Vanderbilt I'd be a rich man.
Glad you liked the speech anyway. Cool move on making your novels free. Outstanding, actually.
This is the first time I've seen you since our mutual birthday lunch in Virginia a couple of years ago...and I have to say, sir, you're looking fantastic!

We'll have to start calling you 'The Commodore" if your last name is now Vanderbilt!
"Video of my speech at the Alamo, or at least it's somebody named Vanderbilt giving it, I'm not quite sure."
