Donald J. Sobol: Hello, my name is Donald J. Sobol. The middle initial J I didn't know what it stood for until I was 40 years old. I once asked my mother, "What does the J stand for? Does it stand for John? Does it stand for J-A-Y?" And she says, "It stands for a relative that I left in Russia. We didn't wanna give you the whole name because it was too long so we just cut it down to one initial, J."
