From the time he entered school, Jean-Paul Desrosiers had
the difficult task of explaining his name and helping with its
pronunciation. He would stress that his name was Jean (Xon)
not like the jeans you wear but more like Jean in Jean-Paul
Sartre, the French philosopher. The more he was teased, the
more he felt that his explanation would enlighten his friends.
One day, as Bobby the bus driver was listening to yet another
long explanation, he said, Well just call you J.P. and you could
tell people that it stands for Junior Philosopher.
The name stuck and he developed into the character of a junior
philosopher explaining and questioning. When his teachers
appeared to have no faith in his abilities as a student, he had
to ask his grandfather why.
