there are many Spanish named places in CO as here. Just when you think you've got that under control, pronunciation wise, you go to Washington where the names are indian and a whole different thing. One of the best Mexican meals I've had was somewhere south(ish) of Vail/Aspen area. Son in law was designated driver so I didn't have to pay too much attention to anything but enjoying.
Once when she was about 10 a family friend called her Jan and was told politely but distinctly that her name is Janet. My younger ones are Nancy and Elaine. Not too much bad you can do with those compared to my "Margaret", an old lady name that I've just started to grow into since I was 50 or so. Your map must have been small. Los Gatos is indeed a very nice town with main street about 8 blocks long and a few side streets. The way it was about 50 years ago would be my ideal of a place to live.
Oooh, you've been around. I'm so provincial. Born in SantaCruz. Your'e only the 3rd to recognize "ladymondegrene " as far as I know. I keep waiting. It's just a year now since I adopted the name, for my formal id. Just grama wgs when I'm slouching around most days. What part of town did you live here? Wouldn't it be strange if we were neighbors......
