Off Topic , sorry Nick.

So, that was his real name. I never heard of a surname Pillow before. Maybe there is another translation for it in
‘the Old Country’.

He must have developed a thick skin or good sense of humor.
Or perhaps school kids didn’t tease each other so much back in his day.

There was a famous Confederate named Pillow. Fort Pillow was named for him (scene of the “Fort Pillow massacre”).
