[f_minor] GG's Instruments (was Ich ruf zu dir mein Herr..../Voyager)

[Karl Brown]

Stephanie,

I think so long as there is no mal-intent, sarcasm or the likes of, you 
may refer to Mr. Gould as you personally see fit. I would like to think 
that Mr. Gould had a great sense of humor and was relatively easy going 
and would be fine with whatever your choice of acronym, abbreviation and 
or variation might be.

Let the names begin ...

Regards,

Karl
