The Name Game
Out of the clear blue sky I received an email. It was very strange. It was signed by me!! There are very few Lincoln’s out there, but I have only suspected that there are other Lincoln Armstrongs. Here is the message I received:
I feel kinda weird doing this, but I think I’ve spoken with some of your family while living in Houston. Around 1999 I was living in Houston and received a few calls from people asking to speak with my children. I was a college student at the time so this took me a bit by surprise. After talking with my grandparents, they claimed they had tried to talk with me and they _did_ find a Lincoln Armstrong, but it wasn’t me.
I looked in the book, and lo and behold there was another Lincoln Armstrong out there. After awhile of living in Houston this magical person had unfortunately disappeared (by 2003 I think). I was a slight bit sad. Yet, here I am today googleing myself and came across www.rlarmstrong.com…
If you lived in West Houston (I want to say near the beltway, or at least where there was a 281 area code), then please let me know so I may rest please that I found my mysterious name-double :) .
Sincerely,
Lincoln Armstrong
A letter from another “me” was very unexpected. Finding out me or rather, we lived in the same town at the same time is very interesting. I did live in that area, so we were each other’s ghosts!!
“Will the real Lincoln Armstrong please stand up??”
