I knew there was a reason
ByDerekI consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent guy, but generally I feel that I have a pretty poor memory. I always wondered why that was. Then, my good buddy (whom I’ve never met, nor even seen in person) Scott Adams wrote this: At this point I will digress and give you my untested theory…

Spam Filtering
ByDerekThis week’s Spam article is on a more serious note.

Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
