Ever "Google" yourself?
Have you ever “Googled” yourself? (No, that’s not some slang term for a sexual act, you perverts.) Have you ever done a Google search for your full name? Well, I did. Check out these results. A Google search for “Glenn Wakeley” yielded the following:
1. The Merrimack Valley Players website with information about the Wake, our spring show written by Jeff K and yours truly. Ok, no problems there.
2. Audition announcements for the Wake, from the “Andover Townsman”. Bit out of date, but still OK.
3. Also from the “Andover Townsman”, an article written about me and another girl from Andover, from when we did a show together with the Salem Town and Country Players…in 1999! Here’s a link to the article. Let’s see who can laugh the loudest at how dumb I look:

4. In 1975, six laymen formed the LSA organization. It was a basketball league for high school kids. And, apparently, in 1979, there was a player on the team named…Glenn Wakeley. There’s a Glenn Wakeley out there who could play basketball? Ha! I knew this name carried a tiny bit of athletic ability!
5. At Western Carolina University, a former chancellor was named Chancellor Wakeley. Hmm…I kind of like the sound of that.
6. The Historical and Genealogical Name Index website teaches us that somewhere in the US, there are three people named: Gil Wakeley, Gilbert Wakeley and Geneva Wakeley. Gilbert? What’s the matter, were there other kids in the neighborhood named Lester or Feivel?
7. There is a charter fishing organization based out of Michigan. For a small fee, these guys will take you on a three hour fishing trip, complete with all appropriate excitement. Their address is:
Guilt-Trip Charter Fishing
1706 Wakeley Bride Road
Grayling, MI
A bridge, huh? Not bad. I’m just glad they didn’t put my name on an outhouse or a rest stop.
8. And my personal favorite:
Alan Wakeley, who is the director of public affairs for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, repsonded to the recent negative coverage given to his organization. Mr. Wakeley said that while most news reports from Salt Lake City have been fair, others are "full of arrant nonsense and prejudice" and prove that Mormons are still as persecuted as they were when they fled to Utah in 1847.
Fight the power!
So, there you have it folks. Try Googling your name and you, too, may discover little nuggets of information, like the fact that in 1951, there was a 15 minute radio broadcast called Jimmy Wakeley’s Song Parade!
