Identity Crisis

Kia ora katoa koutou,

All my life I have had a crisis of identities.  Below are my nicknames over time and reasons.

1958 - 1975 -  Thane
1975 - 1976 -  Kraut -  German surname - first nickname in Navy
1976 - 1977 -  Loops - due to my love of dancing. On Canterbury
1977 - 1979 - Zappa  - on SML Tarapunga - my music tapes I took to sea didn't have Frank Zappa (courtesy LS Warren Young.)
1979 to Now-  Zaps - two reasons - one was shortened version of Zappa and two I was a fast runner/worker.
1980 - 1992 - Henry Sasquatch - My pen name when picking up the ladies - long story.
1998 -  Now - The Gunners Dream (aka Gunner) - my pseudonym when surfing the Internet.
2002  -  2015 - One Bigfoot Crowfeather - Gifted to me by First Peoples.  I have one bigfoot from bridge jump and a mullet.  Retired.
2015 - 2020  - Gawdon Bennett
