Two Questions...

What ever happened to "Drezzo"? http://utlt.keenspace.com/d/20001227.html

(Or is he and Rico the same person?)

Maybe it was just a typo or an oversight, but to which side of the family does "Grampa" belong? He and grandma seem to be the parents of Lily's mother, which would make Feldspar her maiden name. But then why would Lily's last name be Feldspar? (Unless this is the rare case of a person marrying someone else with the same surname.) There doesn't seem to be a divorce or anything like that in their past is there?

I could dither about Mr. Feldspar placating the old bats by taking their family name as his own..... but truth is I blundered that one.
It's a working explanation, though, so let's go with it.

Well, I have a friend who took his wife's name when he got married because he had no desire to associate with his side of the family.

It's also common Navajo practice to worry about materinal line instead of father's. Most Navajos don't care about the father side.

It may have been the Lily's grandparents instisted that her father take their family name. (even if they are just "playing" Navajo.)
