Seymour, Indiana

The Last Shall Be First, and The First Last:  What is the name of the letter that begins the family name Zagar? Your answer is probably 'Zee.' But, only Americans call it that. To most of the rest of the world (or, at least the English-speaking world), it is called 'Zed.' If you think of its Greek name, Zed will make sense to you. Remember zeta? The Zagars were originally sawyers in Slovenia. Riverview Cemetery. [2017]
