Maybe doing something secure is safer, Ducas told The Times Leader of WilkesBarre, Pa., in 1997. However, doing something you love is much more important, even if its a little more dangerous. He adopted his maternal grandmothers maiden name, Ducas, after high school. My father said hed always had trouble with his last name, Ducas told The Houston Chronicle in an article published on Sept. 30, 1994. He suggested I change it. It felt strange and uncomfortable at first, but now Im used to it.
