What's in a name?

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I almost went with "Drewcifer". While working at a high school boys' dormitory at a boarding school overseas, I received that name. I could be tough, and when I was....watch out for....the Drewcifer. Mwaaa haaa haaaa...

I got the nick name in 1970. I was rear ended a little over 2 years ago and it did permanent damage to my optic nerve so I cant fly anymore yet I still have about 50 airplanes and 8 helicopters.

Sorry about your eye damage
Interesting that my brother's nickname is also Sky and he probably got it in the 1970's as well - but because he is tall.
