One day in 2004, when I was writing columns for the Marshall News Messenger, I suddenly realized I had to write something before that day's deadline.

No could do. I was out of ideas. So I decided to google myself. Maybe I could find something to write about.

When I did, I was sorry I had ever had that idea.

See, I always believed I was the only Julia Robb on earth and the only Julia Robb who ever existed.

Why not think that? Julia is not a common name and neither is Robb. In fact, only a tiny percentage of all Americans are named Robb.

So I was shocked to find dozens of Julia Robbs are roaming the world and dozens, if not hundreds, have been born, married and died.
