The chain of title on the tract goes back from the client to dear old dad, to grandpa to great-grandpa. I kid you not, great-grandpa's surname was Batman. I kept hoping some distinguished looking fellow would drop by to ask in an English accent what we were doing and then discover his name was Alfred D. Butler.

Thats Funny, I have a client named Rip Vanwinkle! I did not believe him at first till I meet him at the job site with his partner, ....Clark Kent. You can not make these things up sometimes!!

Puts the name on an original tribal allotment to "Old-woman-with-gun" to shame.

I followed a Surveyor named McMath.

I have a good friend of mine who's a surveyor. His name is Mike North, always thought that was a fitting surveyor's name.

Had a crew member everyone in the County called "Batman".
He had a utility belt full of keys, gadgets and other stuff no one was ever sure of.
Was a great guy that went on to get a job at IPCo and perished in an industrial accident there in the late 1970s.

Next time anyone sees Jim Martin of Griner & Schmitz surveying supplier in KC, MO ask about his dad, Dean Martin and a former G&S employee, Jack Webb.

I had a boss named Dennis Day. He said he had a lot of fun with hotel clerks when he traveled with co-worker James Durante. You old dinosaurs will recognize those names.
