I never knew until I came here that Abigail Folger was also known as "Abby?" I've always heard from people that knew her that they called her "Gibby" always?
I wasn't trying to point a finger of blame here and was curious as to why I kept reading her called Abby is all. We all have faults due to the fact that we are human beings. Be confident enough to know that this isn't what I consider a fault. You may call her anything you like.
Look at that picture above and tell me she was "plain". She had a more cultured and sophisticated beauty.
She was only 26 when she died.She was still a very young woman. I always got the impression that she was frumpy and a bit old fashioned and straight laced. But as i read more and discover more about all the victims,i begins to see more than just victims. There has been so much negative things said about them all,and going by more accurate sources,most people found them all very charming. The best picture to show how attractive she was,is I'm sorry,but the mortuary shot from 1969. It is taken in black and white,and this relay defines her strong orbital ridge and the profile of her jaw line. You can also see the high fatal stab wound to her aorta.It sits just above the top of the sheet covering her body. Eddy don't worry about this,i call her Abey,and no one has ever asked me about this,so it was a good question,worthy of debate. I call her Abey because i read somewhere that this was the name her parents did use at home. I kinda like to be different anyway(what do you mean you have noticed)and it just makes you`re version from others sound a little diffrent. Most people will know who you are referring to.as i said no one has ever said to me,"Who",when i use my Abey. Keep posting,there will come the day you will get one over us. Thor

[/quote] You are correct and I will make every effort to refrain from calling her Abby.
Most people dint know that Wojtek`s name is missed spelled either. And Sharon was called Tate or Polanski. Jay used another name also. And the family had many different names,nick names,code names,and aliases. They even swapped names also,this caused a lot of confusion. Even if we refered to Tex at the night of the killings as the Tall man,we would understand.
Still we should have enough respect for the victims to call them by either their given names or nicknames they would have been comfortable with.
