The first time I remember heaing about the Hogg sisters was as a joke on a 1930's radio show as a joke. Unfortunately, I my 80 year old brain doesn't recall just what the show was. I do, however, remember what fun all of the neighbor kids had with the names. 

Carroll Cooper Summers (Carroll is an unusual spelling for a frmale and has given me many headaches over my lifetime)
