Problem with getting string

[tspen54]

I am having trouble trying to get a first name string with this source file. Strangely enough, it works with getting a last name string.

#include <string.h>
#include "person.h"
void Person::setLastName(char *s)
{
    strcpy (lastName, s);
}
char* Person::getLastName()
{
    static char temp[21];
    strcpy (temp, lastName); // last name is copied to temp which is returned
    return temp;
}
//_________________________
void Person::setFirstName(char *f)
{
    strcopy(firstName, f);
}
char* Person::getFirstName()
{
    static char temp[16];
    strcopy (temp, firstName);
    return temp;
}
