Well now......what if John North Willys was from the deep
south............like my friends down in Loozania.......then he would
pronounce his middle name as nawth. Sorta sound like Jawn Nawth Willis
donya think? Then we'da been called rong for pro-nun-c-atin Nawth as north
y'all. Now don none o' y'all southern boyz thin that I aym makin fun o the
way y'all talk. My good frenz down in Nawlins, Loozania tell me that I got
a funny way of talkin too........
Hey, just havin some fun here..........
BTW.........John North Willys died Aug. 6, 1935. I wonder if there's
anyone living who really knows how HE actually pronounced his own name?
