We were recently talking about famous sons from small towns. Daughter Mary blogged she visited Worchester, MA, hometown of Denis Leary. We saw Allen Ludden's hometown. I heard yesterday that Hope, Arkansas is the birthplace of both Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee. What will they put on the water tower? Wouldn't it be strange if Huckabee were elected president? A tiny town with two presidents claiming origins there--
And while I am wondering how to pronounce Worchester, why do they pronounce Arkansas the way they do instead of AR - KAN- SASS?
