So, why is the website named “The Gablesons”, right? Well, don’t worry folks, we’re most likely going pretty traditional with our names due to the constraints of scientific publishing (see “Hazleton KZ” [au]), but before we came to this realization we thought of a lot of possible ways to combine our names:
- Gibleton
- Hazleson
- Gizleton
But these were just too easy with combining parts of our names. So, we started trading letters – CAPITALS from GIBSON, lowercase from hazleton:
- GaBleSoN – or -
- GaBleStOn
Of couse, the ‘on’ are the same in both, but that was, in short, the genesis of The Gablesons. It was a good idea, but science has imposed its restraints. Plus, Joy Elaine Hazleton has a nice ring to it.
Just reading this again made me feel so happy there is going to be a new Hazleton soon, especially of the female variety!
