Michael Hearst: Hello. My name is Michael Hearst. You may have heard of William Randolph Hearst, who was one of the pioneers of newspaper publishing, or you may have heard of his granddaughter Patty Hearst, who was a convicted bank robber, among other things. I am not related to either of those people. My last name Hearst, although it is spelled the same, is actually shortened from the eastern European name Hearstsowitz, but I thought I would just tell you those stories anyway because maybe that would help you remember my last name, which is Hearst.
