For Whom Were You Named?
OK... so the liong and short of it is that I was supposed to be Michael... I have no idea where that name came from, I think it was Grandpa Wheelers idea. But... the story goes that Grandpa and Grandma Rees were not happy with the name Michael and proposed another name, "Craig". Well when the other side of the family heard that Mom and Dad were considering the name "Craig" they became offended and told mom and dad that if they were going to choose "Craig" then they would have to use "Wheeler" as the middle name. I guess this solved it, hence my name Craig Wheeler Rees. I like Michael better. I actually had planned on using this name for Matthew but alas. Joe had a son and named him Michael before I could get around to it. Here is a sidebar... I liked the name Michale so much that I used it as my professional name for that brief stint when I had my own radio show on KDYL radio. Craig Michaels... Looking back on things I wish I had used my real name...

I did not know that you were craig michaels on the radio. I did not realize that your radio days were at KDYL.Was that before your mission? Did you do some more radio after? My memory deceives me.
Actually it was not Joe's Idea to use the name Micheal but mine. I didn't see any reason why we all couldn't use the name. I still like the name.
