Several years ago, I would be at Fit Works in Dekalb at the same time Bill was there. Bill happened to notice that my license plate read Emmamae so each time he would see me he would call me Emma. He was such a nice man that I didn't have heart to tell him that Emma was not my name but it was the name of my Boston Terrier.
