ANN to most

MOM to three special kids that I admire and love

MRS WARD to thousand of kids I have taught.

SISTER WARD to fellow ward members. I'm getting too old for the young elder's quorum to call me Ann.

ANNIE T to the Wards when Jon's sister Ann was not married. Everyone called her "little Ann." Phew! AnnieT works better than the opposite of that.

MARY to the IRS and telemarketers.

And my ultimate favorite nickname:
