Didn’t know that. I guess I stopped reading Dilbert too long ago. Hmm. Not as long ago as I stopped reading Major Hoople, but probably before I stopped reading Doonesbury (and the Sunday funnies altogether).
Wouldn’t surprise me. I only ever knew one Flossie (probably born circa 1900), and she was a good friend of my Great Aunt Mildred (whom everyone called Midge). I wouldn’t be surprised if Flossie’s given name was Florence. She looked like she could have been a “Flo” as well. Their bridge group also included a Pearl and an Opal as well, and I know those names somehow came back.
