Sophia was the name of my great great grandmother.  Pronounced So FI ya.  She came to the US wth her husband who promptly died and left her alone in Kansas.  She was the 11th of fourteen- one boy- who was needed to inherit the family property (ala Pride and Prejudice) so there was little dowry.  She remarried and they became pioneers.  He promptly became disabled so she ran the farm, had twins in a sod house and made sure her daughter (my great-grand-mother) went to school beyond 3rd grade to eventually get her HS diploma.  She became a teacher who married the post master.  they had seven children, all of whom went to schooling beyond HS (coming of age inthe 1910's through the 1930's).  My grandmother went to Kansas State where she met my grandfather, an only child of a socialist and a German immigrant.  My father eventually got his PhD is theoretical physics.  All becasue my grea-great grandmother made sure that education was a priority in the family. Her legacy lives on.

If I had had a girl, she would have been named after her.  I had two boys. [/quote]
