Actually, it's more "WAW kish aw'." Close, though. A lot of outsiders say it as "Wau' KEE sha."


And all of those names sound really familiar for some reason (as in I know how they sound). What state are you in?

East Iowa. Hour or so from Wisconson.

I see. I spent a year in St. Louis, so that's probably why I heard of them.


Edit: Hmmm. Maybe not? At first I was thinking of Milwaukee, but that's on the other side of the state. And I wouldn't have driven-


OH! I know! My aunt lived there a bit before I was born. I think she had to travel to some of those as an itinerant teacher. The truckers around there might know of her. They called her Nova One at first before they found out she was a teacher, after which they just called her The Teacher. :P

St. Louis is probably 5-6(?) hours from here. I used to live in Cuba City, so that's why I could come close to Waukesha.
