It was a jib old chap nothing more.  I meet a Captian once with my last name.  We just kind of stared at each other in disbelieve.  All the blankenship's I had ever meet where white.  All the blankenship's he had ever meet where black.  So we both stood there trans fixed at the oddest site we ever saw.  Somebody of the wrong color with our last name.  Spent lunch talking to him and conviced him that he had my last name not the reverse.  He is on the family tree now and my dad is working on afixing his branch to the main tree.
