[Dcouncil] New last name

[Rebecca Anderson]

Good morning all,



I hope everyone is having a great week.



You may have noticed a new last name in my emails to our group. As a result of a very lengthy divorce process from my ex-wife, I am dropping my former married name “Duckett” and taking my middle name “Anderson.” My email will stay the same: duckett at jlab.org<mailto:duckett at jlab.org>.



The name Anderson honors my great grandmother who was the last of 13 siblings; all of them male. Her mother passed when she was young and she was expected to take care of them all, including her father. They treated her terribly and drank heavily every night. After they would pass out, she would steal just a little bit of money from their pockets in the evenings. Eventually, she had enough to purchase a ticket to America from Scotland where, at just 17, she boarded a ship by herself to try and make a new life here. I think about her bravery often.



Thanks and talk soon,

Rebecca
