Hi Keith,

> Just curios…. How did you guys come up with the name Shenandoah GC?

The story that I heard from Christine goes something like this.

- I've got this idea to make a pauseless GC. How shall I name it? Uhm,
maybe 'pauseless GC' -> PGC
- This is a little bit boring and possibly confusing with something like
'parallel GC' too so...
- PGC turns out to be the airport code of Petersburg/West Virginia
- which is somewhere close to the Shenandoah valley

I am not 100% sure this is correct.
