Peternelle van Arsdale: Hello, this is Peternelle Van Arsdale. I wish I could say there's an easy way to remember my name, or to pronounce it, but there isn't. In fact, when I was in school and we had a substitute teacher taking attendance, I always knew when they got to my name, because they would just stop and stare at the list of names. They were so completely flummoxed by my name that they didn't even try to pronounce it. In the silence, I'd just raise my hand and say, "Here." I promise that if I'm ever lucky enough to meet you, I won't be even slightly bothered if you mispronounce my name or don't try to say it at all. I'll just smile at you say, "Here."
