After thinking about the term "affected", I guess for me it would have been the trio of JFK, MLK & RFK. Afterward, I decided being "important or famous" wasn't a good thing.
My Mom told me about some cop in FL. whose squad has been hit a bunch of times - it made the news down there. Can't recall, but it might have been at the same intersection each time.
If you were in Marquette, it might have been different because of the college kids from out of the area. Everyone I met in my 9 months there talked like Bob & Doug McKenzie without calling anyone "Hoser".
Got me Scandinavian too. Kinda weird since it appears to come from my German/Scot/Irish Mom. Musta been those darn Vikings looting, pillaging and doing the nasty in their Volvo ships.
