| Through a crazy set of circumstances, my dad, who was born in 1920, did not know his own legal name. Nevertheless, he got a social security number, enlisted in the army in 1941, married my mom in 1947, filed taxes every year -- all under an incorrect name. When my mom wanted to travel abroad around 1975, my dad discovered the truth when he tried to get a passport. I don't think Harold and Marian would have had a problem getting married in River City. |
