[LMB] TSK Names - No Spoilers

[K Carrasco]

   A question for Lois (or Listies, if it's been answered--I've been away a 
while), re names in the wide green world.

   Some of both place names and character names follow a pattern of 
color/object, such as Bluefield, Greyheron, Greenspring. My question is 
particularly about the name Redwing.

    There is a small town in Minnesota, about 50 miles SE of Minneapolis, 
called Red Wing. Rather famed (for great boots and fine pottery, that is), 
and a very pretty and largely well-preserved historic Mississippi river 
town.

    So. Red Wing. Redwing. Coincidence or inspiration?

    Just wondering.
