Netspeakingwise then, FWIW, my parents came to this nation circa 1953, 
fleeing the communists then entering their nation, Hungary.  The last name 
remains as Thoma, sans the "s" all-so-often tacked upon it as suffix.  My 
full first name is Emerich, sometimes commonly referenced as Emery in the 
American vernacular, with Rick being drawn as something of a user-friendly 
nickname from it.
