Upon occasion, when meeting someone for the first time, I've fielded queries about my last name. A knowledgeable baseball fan, for instance, might ask if I were related to the late, great Ernie Harwell of Detroit Tigers broadcasting fame. A Civil War buff might inquire if I were connected to the late, great Richard Barksdale Harwell, the librarian who built the repositories at Emory University and Georgia Southern and an authoritative author of more than 100 books on the War Between The States.
