I'm in my 80s and I remember when I was a little girl during Mayor Baals time that he came to our school, didn't need an assembly, but came to our classrooms and sat down and talked to the students. I never forgot it. I doubt very much that his parents were having thoughts about what people are today when they named him. In fact, in those days, minds of the people were not set on that type of conversation, in the gutter, so to speak. I think we should use the name for the building, afterall we have Anthis and Northrop and several others and people should clean their minds up. My opinion! BJ
