And now, time for something a little different...

I realize this has little to do with the C standard, but since
P.J. Plauger was a member of X3J11, I thought perhaps somebody
here might know the answer.

I am in the midst of thoroughly enjoying Dr. Plauger's book
"The Standard C Library" and became curious how to pronounce
his name. I've never heard it spoken; I've only seen it in print.
If anyone knows how to pronounce his name, I would appreciate
hearing from you. Also, if you know what the "P.J." stands for,
or just what his first name is, I'd appreciate knowing that too.

Thanks,
Howard
