FRED SAYEN ("SIGH-EN")

PLEASE.....THE LAST NAME IS SAYEN..."SIGH-EN." I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE CALL PRONOUNCE IT "SAY-EN," AND "SINE." HOW CAN I SPEAK SO AUTHORITATIVELY ON HOW THE LAST NAME IS PRONOUNCED? WELL, WHEN I WORKED FOR THE KUSERS BACK IN THE 40'S AND 50'S, A LOVELY LADY WAS A REGULAR VISITOR IN HER LITTLE 1947 FORD CLUB COUPE. HER NAME WAS JANE SAYEN AND YES, IT WAS PRONOUNCED, "SIGH-EN." PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU VISIT "SIGH-EN" GARDENS. JANE LOVED TO PAINT. SHE GAVE ONE OF HER PAINTINGS TO FRITZ AND EDNA KUSER. IT WAS A PAINTING OF A CORNER OF THE KUSER HOUSE. I BELIEVE IT IS STILL HANGING IN THE KUSER MAIN FRONT LIVING ROOM.
