1. A chairman for an association of the Ingrian Finnish minority near St. Petersburg, Russia.

2. A glasses-wearing boy from Vantaa who was 15 or something last year, in a school photo. But I guess the similarity remains in the glasses. Though I looked probably just as nerdy in that age... Hmm. Does he actually have glasses or not? Damn crappy photo, though it is from fall 2000.

3. Another schoolboy, without glasses. Lives in Vihti. Oh gosh how impressive he is. The photos are from fall 1997. He's probably 19 now.
A funny quote from his pages:
"I'm 15 years old boy from Vihtijärvi. I just finished studying in Vihti's secondary school. My hobbies are snowboarding and every thing with computers, but NOT programming." --- Ok... the usual "I have a dog called Blackey. He's big. He's got a nice tongue. Once he bit my Dad in the leg and my Dad said the F-word."

4. Wow. A nonfunctional link to a personal introduction I wrote in 1997! Not working though...

5. A link to the home pages of the "nice" sniper game "Mercenary Sniper" (In which you shoot some Ru... I mean enemies) for which I composed some music tracks some 3 to 4 years ago. The link is nonfunctional but the game is available somewhere else.

... So there are at least 3 individuals on the Net bearing my name... I guess that's enough. Expected some more.

If I enter "Theodore Jay Miller" as an exact phrase in Google, I get lots of things I've posted about Star Trek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Futurama.
Just "Theodore Miller" gets me a lot of other people: a New York Democratic politician in the 1800's, an MD specializing in radiology, the Doctor Theodore Miller House in New Jersey, an officer of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod Assembly, etc.

LOVE POEM
(for T)

by Jenny Mueller



I want I want I want: that's the bare
shivering inside her rhetoric. I want
to touch her, through the glass of air.


Red nails red lips red hair. Her metawear:
cherry construction-paper heart that beats
sweet ripe sweet ripe, and then the bare


stone of self-advertisement. Sister,
I know your sign, the wound...
To touch her through the glass of air


would be transgression, though I love her
in her loneliness, prism'd in analysis
(therefore therefore therefore, as if the bare


facts could be talked into something more
special), untranslatable as this: She wants
someone to touch her.
Through the glass of air


she sees the world flown clear
of her reflection, though her mind beats out: it hurts
it hurts. Sweet heart, I know. To bear
touching her, through the glass of air.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jenny Mueller writes for NewCity, a weekly newspaper in Chicago. Her work has appeared in Best American Poetry 1994.

I know the Kiehart side of my family settled in PA generations ago, and I know the "Justina" is a family name, so this guy is researching my family.

So I emailed him.

Less interesting is that another namesake is doing rather well in a Formula 1 fantasy league. Another is part of an Australian Barber Shop Quartet, an avid collector of rare audio recordings of Deltic locomotives in action (eurgh)!

most surnames are taken from profession, but i cant get any of my friends to agree to the idea. they think i made it up. didn't the english pass a law about surnames in the 1600s that everyone take the name of their profession? other names to say miller could be wiess or wiessman. my ex was veasman, which i think is a variation of wiessman.

(reply to heyzeus1) posted 20-Dec-2001 7:15pm  
Yep. I don't know about the English laws though. The name Weissmann (Whiteman) has probably a lot to do with the fact that millers usually got their clothes all white with flour while working in the mill.

Right know I can't say much about your ex's name. Was it spelled that way? How do you pronounce that?

What you might want to know about German is that v is pronounced like f and w like v. Just one of those pronunciation differences between English and German. I don't want to explain all of them now.
Dutch could be even more tricky. But it's otherwise closer to English.
