Hello Mr. Hardy,
The story goes that a group of my ancestors crossed over the Ohio River (probably swam) from Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio to git jobs in the shoe factories. Upon applying for the jobs they were told that anyone with a "k" in their names could not git a job. So they changed their name from Skaggs to Scaggs.
I did not realize there was three boys, Frank, Joe and Dan, in the Hardy Boys.

Even the spell checker wants to change my name, to Scags.
