Chris Gall: Hi, my name is Chris Gall. You might imagine my last name being spelled G-A-L-L, that when I was growing up, I had more than my share of ribbing regarding my name. I was called gall bladder, gall stone, Gall-a-ger, anything at all that kids could think of to tease me about my last name, but the funny thing was that when I actually grew up a little older, and I got into seventh grade science, my science teacher pulled me aside and said, "Do you know what a gall is?" And, I said no. He said, "Well, a gall is an oozing pustule on the side of trees." That pretty much set the tone for the rest of my childhood.
