I had never seen a truck like this one.It was on our busiest street in Rockport. The company logo was a new one for me. There, in giant letters across the back door was "Dale's Pale Ale". Can they take my name and call an ale after it? Sure can! Still, it doesn't seem quite right. I have been searching for years for my fifteen minutes of fame but this surely isn't it. Well, my name is out there. Now I am wondering if they really named the stuff after me. It is from Colorado and I carved my name many years ago in an Aspen tree. Maybe that is where they got it. It could be they named it after Dale Evans of Roy and Dale fame. I doubt that. Maybe it is from the "Caissons Song"....."over hill, over dale, we will hit the dusty trail, as those caissons go rolling along". Naw! That is a World War I song.
Best not research your name too much. I did " Pogue" and kept coming up with a rock group in Ireland by the same name. They were hardly a group I care to be linked with.
Some names will never be smeared by the things of this world' .....like these.
I "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace". (Isaiah 9:6) These are names good for an eternity of fame! They will be around long after Dale's Ale has paled. You might say, these are names that can cure what ails you.
