Phillip Hoose: Hi. This is Phil Hoose. It sounds like rose, but it's actually spelled like Moose. It's H-O-O-S-E. I know it's confusing, but my grandpa gave me a good way to figure it out. He once told me, "You have the same problem, Phil, that Roosevelt had in his first term. By the second term, everybody got used to it." It's spelled H-O-O-S-E, just as Roosevelt was R-O-O-S-E-V-E-L-T. That's Phillip with two Ls, and Hoose, you already know, with two Os. Take care. 'Bye.
