Description:

It has been a big month for Canadians: the Post Office announced it has will issue a stamp featuring country icon Stompin' Tom Connors, a biologist at East Carolina University named a spider after Neil Young, and Taylor Urbshott in Wiarton, Ontario decided to name a species, okay a cow, after Stuart McLean.

And speaking of names...we check in with a seven-year old girl living in Turlock, California, who was named Morley (named after, you guessed it, Morley).
