    Judge Miles Lord

    Another great old-school one was U. S. District Chief Judge Miles Lord. It’s hard to dispute a ruling from the Lord.

    Minnesota State Representative Peter Fugina wins for sexiest name of 1959. And if the Duluth News Tribune article below is any indication, the name can be so distracting that it can become difficult to spell “Virginia” in the same sentence.

    Spirit Mountain Ski Instructor Cookie Petter (circa the 1970s) might be stretching the definition of “public official,” but just obviously needs to be included here.
