At age five, Edwin Snider went off to his first day at kindergarten. When he came home and entered his house, his father spontaneously announced, "Here returns the Duke, back from his day out in the world" Why he said "Duke", neither young Edwin or his father seems to know the reason, but the name stuck, and he was "Duke" ever after.
