HEY YOU GUYS! :-)  I was originally asking for the best way to return 
the first and last parts of an array.

Breaking apart a name was just an example because I had to make up and 
example in order to ask the question.  Hence I said "Assume for 
simplicity..."  OF COURSE dealing with names is not as trivial as my 
example.

The initial replies helped me understand arrays in Ruby better.

Thanks
Jeff
