Grandpa Jason and Grandpa Chad

[ndrosen]

XKCD has a graph about grandparents’ names, which reminded me: as a small child (I was born in 1964), I had a friend named Chad, more or less my own age. At least, I think Chad was the name of the boy whose father was in the FBI. I hadn’t seen him for some time, and my mother told me that the family had moved because his father was in the FBI, investigating student radicals and such (we lived in a college town), and there had been a break-in of an FBI office, exposing just what the Feds were doing, so Chad’s father had been reassigned elsewhere.
