That makes so much more sense now. :-) Cosa is Italian, right? I spent a couple years learning Italian on DuoLingo - can't say it got me very far, but I've kind of got the basics. Does Fair have a translation? That would be fun.

The name itself comes from a portmanteau of Matthew's family names - his father is Fairfield, while his mother's maiden name is Cosand. Matthew has definitely done both - served his country in the military and served time in prison; now he's serving his community. I'm so proud of him.

I dig word play - it's just really hard to hear tone in written communication sometimes, so I didn't know how seriously to take your comment. :-)
