Mayor Name Doppelganger Day

Published: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 6:47 PM PST



I can't help but posting a funny coincidence:

Today at the City Council meeting there was a presentation on the implementation of automated external defibrillators. One of the presenters was Maureen O'Connor, but not that Maureen O'Connor, the former mayor of San Diego. This O'Connor was the project coordinator for San Diego Project Heart Beat, the AED program being discussed today.

And then, a man stood up to comment and lend his support for the program.

His name: Jerry Sanders. (He was quick to point out that he is not the current mayor of San Diego.)
