Chris Van Dusen: My name is Chris Van Dusen. It sounds like the shirt company Van Heusen, only with a D instead of an H. A Van Dusen is a Dutch name, and I've been told that Van means "of" and Dusen is a region in the Netherlands. So technically I'm Chris of Dusen. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what I've heard. When I was a little kid, there was a teenager that lived up the street that used to tear around town on a loud chopper motorcycle. If he saw me playing in the yard he'd yell out, "Hey Van, how you Dusen?' I always loved that.
