Phil and I were brothers, even though we had "different" last names. Dad needed his birth certificate to work in defense plants in WWII (after Phil was born, but before I was) and it was discovered that an "s" had been inadvertently added making us the the only brothers (there were 4 of us) who had the same father and the same mother but different last names. That is the official reason, but Phil had one that he liked to use which was that he had tried an unsuccessful business venture and lost his "s."
