Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | This may be a dumb question.. (never stopped me before.) How is Kaman pronounced? Is the first "A" long? Or is it short with the accent on the second syllable? The reason I ask is there is a company in Colo. Spgs. called Kaman Sciences. And It's pronounced with a short "a" and the accent on the second syllable. Just curious..

Location: 6 String Ranch | When giving a name at a restaurant in the north I always give them Beal. That way it always makes them speak southern. When I'm in the south I don't have that problem. |
