Artist Changes Name to "In God We Trust"

By Howard M. Friedman

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, a Lake County, Illinois judge on Friday approved Steve Kreuscher's petition to change his name to "In God We Trust". The former Mr. Kreuscher says he was looking for a sign from God that the name change was a good idea. He found it when his tax rebate for $600 matched the expenses of getting his name change.

If you don't do something to stand out in the crowd the world won't recognize you." (See prior related posting.)
