My name is Ruth Kitchin Tillman. It should be alphabetized and indexed Tillman, Ruth Kitchin. My name is not hyphenated. Kitchin is my original last name. Kitchin is (legally) my middle name. You can call me Ruth Tillman, that’s fine. Ruth K. Tillman works too. Ms. Tillman, not Mrs., please. Mrs. Tillman is my mother-in-law. She has been in my life for decades. I changed my last name to Tillman because I got so very tired of spelling “Kitchin” to people. Tillman is pretty easy to spell....
