My father and brother both share his name (Tom W. Blackburn III and Tom W. Blackburn IV, respectively). For a little while growing up I though everyone's Dad and brother shared the same name!

Very interesting tidbit. Davy was always one of my favorite heroes. Fess Parker and Davy Crockett to me were the same person.
