"e ... l " as in the prize


I always need to spell out my last name. Noble is common enough, but mine is spelled Nob-e-l. 'Like the prize' I often say when I get a puzzled look. For 30 years, the only 'Nobel' names in our city phone books belonged to Sweetie-Pie-Love-of-my-Life and me, and my in-laws.

Imagine our surprise and delight when Youngest-Son found this bag of candy in a specialty candy store! Our name is all over it! 'The Nobel's Times.' 'Nobel Super Shoga Candy.' I had to frame it.
