All Hands on Deck MacGregor’s (Part 9: Henny Penny Pierce)

Continuing on,  it’s time to pay a visit to the MacGregor’s synchrosecrets blog.  Note the title of their post made yesterday, December 6: 

What stands out is the name “Penny Peirce”, given that it’s an addition to the “First and Last Name Beginning with the Same Letter” pattern cluster, a cluster that began with this recent series of posts involving the MacGregor’s.  Penny Peirce doesn’t have a wikipedia page, butt this shouldn’t stop us, butt inspire us to thing creatively.  In this case “Penny” does have meaning, for one it’s a coin (no longer minted in Canada), and secondly there’s “Henny Penny”, the nursery rhyme character.  Note this excerpt from the Henny Penny wiki page: 

The story is listed as Aarne-Thompson-Uther type 20C,
