Origin of Corgan
Now we all remember
that Billy spelled his last name Corgan as Corrigan in the
PI linear notes. Now there is a reason why he spells it like
that; if you want to
know, email us. Now I did some reasearch on the current spelling
of Corgan I
found nothing; however, I did find something under Corrigan - now
this is in
no way official, I just thought it was interesting.

conservatism that opposed the liberal innovations suggested ny

school system, stressed the primacy of scholarship, supported the

Here is another little thing I
found. Now, I was thinking of more things to
research and I though more in depth of what I could look up. Well
I though
more about Billy and then I thought of Chris. So then I looked up
Fabian and this this the definition...
