“The Glen was the prettiest place⟳ she knew, so pretty she thought she ought to name⟳ her first baby after it. With another "n" added "to make⟳ it look⟳ more like⟳ a name⟳", she called him Glenn Hammond Curtiss. The middle name⟳ was taken from the town itself, or its first settler, Lazarus Hammond. The whimsy of naming her son after a local landmark was typical of Lua Curtiss. Then too a name⟳ like⟳ Glenn Hammond Curtiss has sweep⟳ and resonance, was much less commonplace than Harry or Jim or Charlie; or Frank, like⟳ his father.”
