His last name does NOT rhyme with "Lizard", it's prounounced in the anglicized French way (but anglicized because the final "d" is spoken). He clarified this himself in his audiobooks.

Thanks. You can change it yourself if you like, or I can do it. DenisMoskowitz 14:37, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)

[edit] Grizzard's characters

Were Lewis' characters (i.e. Weyman C. Wannamaker Jr., Cordie Mae Poovey, Kathy Sue Loudermilk) actually based on real people that he knew or may have known, or were they purely creations for the benefit of humorous narrative? I'm not 100% sure. --DXI 20:22, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Place of birth

Two published sources give his place of birth as Columbus, Georgia, so I changed the reference to his having been born at the adjacent army base, Fort Benning. Zariane (talk) 11:41, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
