Readers who read the story about Googie's (Times, June 9) might be interested in knowing about the origins of both the name and the restaurant.
My mother's sister, Lillian, although she was graduated from medical school and law school, through her lifetime carried the nickname "Googie"; this questionable gift was bestowed by her father (my grandfather) who also gave his other daughters affectionate monikers such as "Policeman," "Rabbit," "Snowflake" and "Tookie"--this last went to my mother, the youngest of the sisters.
