  • Introduction

    My Daddy went by the name of J H not his full name. He was named after his grandfather Duke who had Jefferson as his middle. Harrison was his Grandpa Little middle name. ( Though there the name of Jefferson is also on his mother side) It's not fun being in grade school and trying to put his full name on a card that couldn't leave the school room.
