Illinois Man Seeks "In God We Trust" As New Name
Zion, Illinois school bus driver and amateur artist Steve Kreuscher is asking an Illinois court to permit him to legally change his name to "In God" [first name] "We Trust" [last name]. Yesterday's Chicago Daily Herald reports that the 57-year old says: "Those words are an endangered species. You might take it off the money, but you can't take away my name." A hearing on the name change is scheduled in a Lake County court on June 13. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
