"john smith"... hey!!! That's my screen name!!!


John Smith was my great-grandfather's name until he tried to get a job at a
coal mine during the depression. Every outlaw who wanted to be anonymous
named himself John Smith, so the foreman said "Nope. Come back when tou
better think of another name. We already have too many John Smiths to keep
track of."

'Course, his real name WAS John Smith. That depressed him, apparently, so
he went down to the saloon and thought it over...

The next day he was employed under the name Johnny Walker, which is what is
inscribed on his headstone in Portland.
