Barney Saltzberg: Hello, my name is Barney Saltzberg. There aren't a lot of Barneys. I grew up with the Flintstones, watching them on television. They had a cartoon show with a character named Barney. Years later there was another show with a dinosaur named Barney, it's not hard to forget an adult's name when it's Barney.
You can think of a barn where cows live and a knee that you have on your leg, Barn Knee. Saltzberg is my last name, it comes from Austria, there's a city called Salzburg, although it's spelled differently. The first part of my last name has salt in it, it's not really hard to remember that, salt and berg is a mountain, so it's Barney Saltzberg, I bet you'll remember that.
