[LM_NET] Hit: How to Pronounce Mzee

[Lane Young <lyoung@NSCDS.ORG>]

My original question:  Oh wise ones: I've been reading Owen and Mzee: The
True Story of a Remarkable Story with my classes and a dispute has,
inadvertently broken out over how to pronounce the turtle's name.  Can
anyone point me to a definitive source on how to pronounce Mzee?

The answer, according to the pronounciation guide located with the CIP:
mm-ZAY.
