When Wanda and I met with Zach Holmes we were talking about family names, like how Unlce Bear got his nickname. I told them that mother always told me that Unlce D.C.'s name was just D.C. Jr and that the D.C. did not stand for anything.
Wanda, Bennie Joe, Dennis and Zach said it stood for Dallas Calvin. So after some discussion I gave in and said OK. When Wanda and I met with Aunt Adele on Sunday afternoon I asked her about Unlce D.C's name. She said that he was named D.C. Jr. but that it did not stand for anything.
When he went in service he was told that D.C. was a nickname and that he had to have another name, that he could not go in service with a nickname. He (Unlce D.C.) said that since his father's name was Dallas Calvin he would just take that as his name.
That is how Unlce D.C. went from being just D.C. Jr. to Dallas Calvin, Jr. I didn't know if you knew this story or not but I thought about it this morning so I thought I would send it to you. Talk to you later.
