fandandy 3,311 Posted October 11, 2018 You'd think after a while they'd run out of names. Didn't Maxine Watters recently sponsor a bill to make the names more racially inclusive?

TheNewGirl 1,039 Posted October 11, 2018 My first name isn't on the retired list...but it was a Cat 1 back in 1963. My middle name was merely a TS in 1973. Both of these occurred years before I was borned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
