Hey Rob

This is tough to make out, the letters are a bit blurry.
Do you have macro mode on your camera so you can get a crisper image of it and the surrounding writing?

I'm pretty good at deciphering peoples hand writing, but this one is tricky. You're right though, the first name does look a bit like shtauy...but that doesnt seem like a name to me.
