[Hal Heydt]
I'm not upset about the mistake.

A couple of bits of history...  The eponymous Heydt was Karl Otto
Heydt who came to the US from Prussia to avoid being drafted to
fight in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.  

When we were married, Dorothy cheerfully change her surname from
Jones to Heydt because she had found over the years that a
surprising number of people could neither spell nor pronounce
Jones.  (Go figure.)  Likewise, because of the same issue with
Heydt, when our daughter was married, she changed her surname to
that of her husband, Creelman.  She has since found...the same
issue.
