NOTES:

I was born Cornelius Francis Aloysius Deighan III.  Pop Deighan was
Cornelius but he always went by Neil.  My Dad's legal documents (he was
a lawyer, then a judge and then an appellate judge) always had the name
Neil on his law degrees. But if you grew up with the name Cornelius in
New Jersey when I did, you'd use the short form of it, Neil (like Mike
is to Michael).  So I got Neil as my name with Cornelius sort of
lurking in the background.  Kip came from my sister Donna, who wanted
to call me Skippy when I was a baby (having to do with a radio show
sponsored by Skippy peanut butter) but she couldn't pronounce her S's.
Having three legal first names, Cornelius, Neil (my Soc Security name)
and Kip as in Kip Deighan Writing Services (KDWS) was way to
complicated in this day and age of computers.  Well, it all just got to
be TOO much so in 2000, I changed it all to just plain old, Kip
Deighan.
