[Occupymendocino] Occupymendocino Digest, Vol 26, Issue 3 and spelling Jessie's name

[Jessie Lee VanSant]

Hi Folks,
Thank you Adrienne for taking the meeting minutes.  Please correct the
spelling of my name in the OM GA minutes.

I know it is not a huge deal but...  it bothers me when my name is
misspelled.  Please take this in the manner in which it is presented.  No
anger or snark just information, a request for correction and an 'ask' for
respect.

My name is spelled J-E-S-S-'I'-E   JESSIE with an 'I'.    My name is Jessie
Lee VanSant.  I am named for my paternal grandmother Jessie Milton Jones
VanSant.

Jesse is the male form of the name; Jessie is the female form.  Origin is
Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious'. (ironic for me since I am a paganish
person)

I've always liked my name and appreciate it being spelled properly,
especially in public records and documents of record.  Please spell it
correctly.

Thank you all for 'hearing' me and understanding.

Jessie Lee VanSant
OCCUPY Mendocino
