The mystery of the name

Friday, March 1st, 2002

My name is Phil Austin. If you look, you’ll find there are at least four Phil Austins. One is a watercolorist with millions of books, one is the president of the U. of Conn., one is a scientist and one is me. There are others, but they do not loom as google large as the four of us, the big four.

If you run the two words together, it sounds as if you’re saying Philistine. Not a bad thought.
