Johanna Reiss: Hello, my name is Johanna Reiss. Well, it's one of my names. I'm also called Annie or Onie that in Holland where I was born and where my sisters referred to me as Onica, meaning little Onie. That's only my first name. Then, there's the confusion of how to pronounce my last name, not Rice. It's Reiss. "Mom," my kids sometimes said when they were little, "somebody called us Reece's Peanut Butter Cups." "Isn't that great," I said loving peanut butter. "No," they answered. "It's spelled differently, ma." That, I found, confusing.
