Glad I've been saying Sweet Caporal correctly.

I hear "Sweet" "Cap" "Ore" "All" all the time.

A member of the family told me eight or ten years ago that it was pronounced GOW-dee.

I attended several key Midwest shows from 1972-1977, where many pioneers were present, and every time a Goudey was mentioned, it was pronounced, "GOW-DEE". ---Brian Powell

I am in the GOW DEE camp.......don't really collect them, but that is how a dealer pronounced it early in my collecting career. No idea if it is correct...

I've always heard it Gow-dee as well.

For the first time ever in a youtube video of all places I heard someone pronounce it bow (same sound as cow) man. I've always heard it bow (like a bow tie or bow and arrow) man and when he said it the other way it sounded so stupid to me and I actually remember saying to myself "OMG moron, that's not how you say it, stop saying that!" LOL

as for Lajoie...I've actually always pronounced that lah-zhwah (both vowel sounds like when the doctor tells you "say ahh")
