The story was reported in a magazine years ago was that Meltzer came up
with the umlaut.  Bolle Gregmar (fanclub prez) has stated in the past
that it was Allen that came up with it.  Who's right?  I'm not sure, but
since the fanclub website has Bolle's fingerprints all over it (although
Melne is the webmaster), I'm not surprised that it says Allen added the umlaut.
