So…….funny thing. I was on staff of a church in California where I'd answer the phone, "Hello, this is Lea Ann", enunciating pretty darn clearly.
On two separate occasions within weeks of each other, separate callers heard my greeting, and at the end of each conversation, I would hear, "Thank YOU, Maria!!!" I began wondering what part of "Hello, this is Lea Ann" sounds like Maria???
These calls prompted coworkers to begin strolling past my desk singing, "Take a Letter, Maria" or "Ave Maria" in my presence. I was called Maria so often I began to respond to that name. Its been years, but moments ago I heard the song being sung. Good times.

PS: if you watch the video..check out the groovy outfits and hairstyles.
