Lindgren Family - Naming Children

 From Aunt Karen:

"Mom [Helen Louise] was named by her brother, They were his 2 girlfriends at the time. Mom's mother or father wanted to name her Lucretia or something similarly awful."

According to Karen all of the Karl and Christine Lindgren children's middle names were from their friends.

Karen almost was "Carlina" to be named after her father.

Andrew Karl Lindgren, was named after his Dad, Grandfather and great Grandfather Karl. Andrew was on both of our list of names. Since that time, I have found numerous Andreas in the Jarl-Winch family. Maybe it was just meant to be.

Robert was named after 2 women. The first was my grandmother Lenoir Leonard Triplett. She went by the name "Bobbie" hence Robert. Clarke was from Brian's mother's maiden name which was Clarke.

I was named after both of my parents - My Dad was Myron, so I got the feminine form. My mother's middle name was Lee, which became my middle name.

My mother was named after Aunt Fred's best friend, hence "Lorna Lee".

My father was named after his father Cecil Erwin Winch. I do not know where the name "Myron" came from, but his middle name "Erwin" was after his father.

Lindgren Family - Harry Mallock Lindgren - Our Family's "Urban Ledgends"

Harry worked on many many films in the capacity "Sound Engineer" on multiple films.

One film was the 1950 movie "Sunset Blvd."

Legend has it that Harry was on the "set" when the words "All right Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close up" was uttered by Gloria Swanson. Swanson was a long time actress in the early 1920s through the 1950s.

This is the link for that scene. Once there click on "YouTube".:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second "Urban Legend" was the creation of the sound of the Martian dying, in the "War of Worlds" 1953, based on H.G. Wells novel.

It is believed by our family that the sound of the Martian dying was achieved when Harry rubbed dry ice very fast on the microphone while recording.

He then played the sound backward, which became the sound of the Martian dying.

This is the link to Harry's IMDB page with a list of all the television and movie credits. You will see "Sunset Blvd" is sighted to Harry. He is not credited for "War of the Worlds".

Anne states that she was present when they played the "rushes" from that days shooting, which highlighted the Martian dying. As Anne recalls she toured the studio. What was impressive, was that the building had all different sizes of doors, as well as the tank where the parting of the Red Sea was filmed.
