[John_Olexa]

Birth name. This way I'll never forget who I am.

My name is Jack and my wife is Rhonda = JacaRanda = these trees jacaranda trees in bloom, south africa photo there are many of them where we live in Southern California.

Now that I know your name is Jack, I can't wait to come up with my nickname for you. It will be a good one. Mind you, I only have nicknames for my favorite TPF members. (Well for the most part)

Mine is my first name. It was my grandfather's first name, and my father's middle name. It's an old family spelling of an old English name. My name is often misspelled; there are eight ways (at least eight) to spell my first name. Darrel, Darrell, Darrol, Darryle, Darryl, Darrol,Daryle, and Derrel.

Do you have a brother named Derrel and one named Larry? Sorry, I just had to.

a Twonie? It is a Toonie, one dollar is Loonie - lawd knows what a five dollar will be when they decide to rid themselves of more paper money. Foonie? not sure about that

I used the American spelling - you know, like "color" instead of "colour".
We also have "GIS" instead of "Geomatics", even though I know you guys invented the thing. :mrgreen:

Oh, and my user name is just my first name. Boring. Spelled funny, leading to lifelong corrections as I'm sure Lenny can relate to (and I love limr's new nickname!).

Funny, when I made this account here 10 years ago, I didn't figure I'd stay very long, so just typed in my name without even bothering with caps or anything so serious. :mrgreen:

I knew I remembered it right...terri, you called me Lenny first, didn't you? In this thread: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/black-white-gallery/342971-curves.html you said...

Great eye for the action and the shapes, Lenny! :thumbup: This one makes me grin.

That makes it official! Or wait, does a third person need to say the name, too? Or one person say it three times?
