"Army is a great fan of Athletic Shows (At Shows) any comments would be appreciated.
I once asked him where he got the nickname and he said it came from Rex Williams due his neat appearance. Better than Buckles."

AH-ehh - your nickname is Great -
& the Story & Reasoning behind IT is even more Appropriately Interesting -

Where & when I come from ; a Nickname ( a Tag ) is Mandatory .

Some of my peers are ;
The ROCK , the Swamp Fox , Mr. Billy , Speed , Pickles , the Mope , Butch , Labo , Zee , Doc , Pias , Funky , Surfen Ernie , Pajama Nanda , Tony Mother AKA Big A , the Ace , Little John , Chicklets , Mercury , Buzzsaw , Mark the Chopper , Tinker - & It just dosen't stop !

As I wrote this I got quite a giggle out of Each Charactor .

Its Fun Stuff Overall & Usually : there's NO WAY OUT IT once someone Nails ya ! RIGHT

Sincerely ;

At work, I'm in inside sales now, everyone has a nickname. From day one, the GM called me The Captain. That was almost four years ago and he still can't tell me why he came up with that name. Once they nail you and it sticks, it's yours forever. ~frank

With a real name of Chic you can

only imagine some of what I've

been called over the years

As a kid I absolutely hated my

name and was sure that I would

change it once I was old enough

As I've only ever met one other

stagehand with this name and he

passed away many years ago it

has become somewhat usefull

having a fairly unique tag

Athletic shows were fair favorites for a long time. James E Strates got his start as a wrestler in an an athelic show taking on all comers under the moniker Strangler Lewis.
