But you don't have a dog in that hunt. Besides that, you don't know what their reasoning was & apparently you can't see any logic to it. For that matter, I doubt that you can prove that they did ''take their father's name from them''. For all we know, the official papers might read something like Jane Louise Spreicher Harris & John Leon Spreicher Harris. And, in any case, when the kids are legal age, they can change their names to anything they want if they don't like the names they were given.

I'll be damned. Lookee what I found:
A Washington Post profile last week noted that in 1992 Speicher's wife, Joanne--at the time, officially his widow--remarried:
[Her second husband's] name was Albert Harris, but he was known to everyone as Buddy. He had been Scott's closest friend, a fellow Navy pilot. Devastated by Speicher's death, Harris began spending more and more time with the Speicher children, playing the role of surrogate father. And, as he would tell NBC's Tom Brokaw in an interview in February, ''the light kind of came on around the same time as to the possibilities.'' . . .
Together, they had two children, and all four siblings started to go by the last name Speicher-Harris....
