My name is Christen Elmo, Marcher Wemmer. Those were my given names. I grew up thinking that my name was Christen Elmo Wemmer. And when I was in my twenties, I found out that I had a second, second name, which was Marcher spelled with a CH rather than a K was my grandmother’s maiden name, my father’s mother’s maiden name. When I found that out, I told Shirley, I said, I’m dropping the Elmo, which was my father’s name, and I’m now Christen Marcher Wemmer. So otherwise known as Chris Wemmer to most people. So that’s why I got my name. I was born in San Antonio, Texas at Kelly Field, which was an Air Force base on the 6th of July, 1943.
