That's funny. When I booked one of my first trips to Las Vegas, the gal
at the travel agency pronounced Gaughan as "Gow-Gan". This was back
when his name was on the Plaza. Then in LV I saw he was a guest on one
of the local TV station's noontime shows & heard how it was really
pronounced.

Is it FEBROOOARY yet?
