Now, only by searching church records could one contest or
verify this assertion; considering that there seems to be
no accessible evidence to the contrary, why do folks
continue to question the validity of this name?

Perhaps David could comment: was this moniker bestowed
as 'Eduardo' or 'Edward' or 'Edouard' or some other
version of the name?

If indeed as he says it has always been Eduardo, then
there appears to be little justification for use of
pejoratives like 'faux hispanic'. ?I don't remember
seeing any claims for hispanic ancestry in Mr. Gleason's
web pages or in any posts in the N.G. either.

...Just would like to see an end to the incessant ad

He used "Eduardo" to get a job with the now private, in-retreat
Univision, since he is only a high-scool dropout with a lousy podunk
GED.

Actually, I was employed by Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. and prior to that,
by Heftel Broadcasting which merged to form HBC. HBC was bought by
Univision, and I had been with the company for about 10 years then.

And, of course, you always neglect to mention that I dropped out of school
because I was bored to death, and built my own radio station, the first Top
40 station in South America. Idiots don't build #1 radio stations.

It is also going to make it harder for Univision to fire/layoff
him.

Why? 75% of our workforce is Hispanic. One more or one less is hardly
significant, and certainly not anything that makes me a member of a
protected class. In fact, the protected class I belong to is "making #1
radio stations" as I have always done; I hold a record in the US for having
programmed the FM station, in a top 50 market, with the longest run of
consecutive #1 ratings periods... 22 years.

Because of this, he feels very insecure, hense the need to
continually joist with us educated folk. Hell, my company wouldn't
even consider him, as they require at least a high school diploma and
US citizenship.

Fortunately, in my field we are talent driven and one's achievements, not
their education, are the most important factors. By the way, during the
several years I went to ASU, I got over 100 credits and a GPU of 4 and was
on the Deans List consistently.... not having a US High School Diploma
apparently did not matter much, did it?
