Name[edit]

It would be better if the article title matched the spelling in the lede and the infobox, and if there were some explanation of why his name is spelled different ways. It seems like perhaps he was born Gustav and when he emigrated he changed it to Gustave, is that right? Rigadoun (talk) 17:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your suggestion. I think I have captured it in the recent edits. Argos'Dad 20:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
