Fergie

I grew up in Accokeek, Maryland, and there was an old geezer in the neighborhood named "Fergie", who on Sunday mornings would drive around delivering eggs in a vintage Ford station wagon, and the neighborhood kids would hop on and ride along. Later, when I started getting interested in geology, I realized that he was Henry G. Ferguson, a very significant USGS field geologist who did seminal work in Nevada in the 1920's-1950's (see this Wikipedia article for more detail). A neighborhood painter named Frank Thornhill created a painting in 1961 called "Fergie's Egg Route" (which I own); here is an image of it.
