Weird Fact

This little oddity has come up a few times recently when we’ve had to create email addresses for new staffers. But I just did a tally. And even though TPM is still a pretty small organization and has only had paid staffers for a few years, we’ve managed to have two employees named Kate, Laura, Ben, Eric, Justin, Andrew and Rachel. With 14 double-name staffers, that’s got to be more than half the people who’ve ever worked for TPM. Presumably these were very popular names in the 1980s and very late 1970s. But it still strikes me as uncanny.
