Wendy and I had a marvelous trip to the Oregon coast during the holiday weekend. We stayed at the Inn at Cannon Beach. Our room at the inn had a fireplace and a jacuzzi.
I made special arrangements with the Wayfarer Restaurant to provide Wendy with a vegetarian entrée. The chef created a tasty dish with grilled portobellos, artichoke hearts, pine nuts, and zucchini. I had turkey with a spectacular cranberry sauce.
According to HowManyOfMe.Com, there are 7 Eric Stollers in the United States. Eric is the 52nd most popular US name. 2,430 people have Stoller as a last name. This means that they also get to listen to mispronounced versions of Stoller.
“Stroller, is there a Stroller here?” No, it’s Stoller.
Wendy always tells me that I can’t go on escalators — no strollers allowed. She makes me giggle.
Stoller. It sounds like bowler. Stoller. It’s Swiss/German. The graphic is the Stoller coat of arms/family crest.
Spelling variations include: Stolle, Stol, Stoller, Stole, Stohl, Stolhe and many more.
First found in Switzerland, in the canton of Zürich, where the name Stolle was closely identified in early medieval times with the feudal society which would become prominent throughout European history.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Jacob Jansen Stol, who arrived in New York in 1630. Willem J. Stol sailed to New York in 1650; Ezekiel Stoll settled in Georgia in 1742; John Stole came to New England in 1757.
Stoller. It’s a vineyard in Oregon that has a LEED Certified Winery. Great pinots and environmental consciousness. I wonder if they would give me a free bottle…we might be related…
