User talk:Randy

Randy is short for Randolph which means shield wolf or protector. I asked my mom if I was named for Dr. A Philip Randolph chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality. She was not amused. I was named for Dr. Philip Grimes Randolph who was Undersecretary of War to Andrew Jackson. Mom said that Dr. A Philip's relatives were probably "owned" by mine¹.

I am Fenstermacher

... Pennsylvania Dutch² for window maker. I do not handle red hot glass, but I do make windows between universes of thought, feeling, and belief.
