SENTENTIA

Mr. Truman thought it sounded grand and incorporated it into His Title Name. Truman's middle initial: Truman did not have a middle name, but only a middle initial. It was a common practice in southern states, including Missouri, to use initials rather than names. Truman said the initial was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp(e) Truman and Solomon Young. He once joked that the S was a name, not an initial, and it should not have a period, but official documents and his presidential library all use a period. Furthermore, the Harry S. Truman Library has numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Truman's lifetime where his own use of a period after the "S" is very obvious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman May 14 06, 4:57 PM
