I thought some more about Andrew J today, while I was doing something else. Interesting name, for starters. Is it derived from Highduke? This seems a reasonable supposition. As it stands, it's more reminiscent of Hi, Duke!, not such a formal-sounding name.
I looked on the Net, but the origin of Hiduke is as elusive as the reason why someone was looking for Andrew J on my site.
Perhaps there's someone out there who can help?

Andrew John Hiduke is my father.
He was the oldest of five brothers.
The name Hiduke was an Americanization of the Slovak name
Hajduch. Only my father changed his name to this spelling.
He is the father of 5 children,James,Andrew,Terrence,
David and Gail.
He was the Chief Probation officer of the Juvenile court in Gary,In.
He resides in Ft. Myers ,Fl. and is 88 years old. He is the kindest most loving and Christan human being I have ever known and I am proud to be his son, David. Glad he now appears on your blog.
My father touched many peoples lives in N.W. Indiana. Maybe some will see your blog and tell you.
David A. Hiduke
I've only just discovered this comment - for some reason this blog won't tell me by email when I get a comment on it, even though it appears to be set up to do so.
So it was only by accident that I found this comment today - and I've no idea how long it's been here.
Anyway, it's great to hear about Mr Hiduke at last, and to know who he is!
Thanks, David.
