I was reading the after word of _Shawdow Puppets_ by Orson Scott Card, and among the many people he thanks is a Hatrack River user named **C K Dexter Haven**. Are you the same person? If so, how very cool! ---

Nope, it is not I. I thought this had been asked before, but I couldn’t find the old thread, after much searching. IIRC, that person is a female. I ain’t. “C K Dexter Haven” is a pretty common name. Not as common as Johnson or Smith, perhaps, but pretty common, nonetheless. Heck, Cary Grant even used it some movie or other. ---

Thanks. I searched before I asked, because I figured that I wasn’t the only one who had read the book. ---
