A number of our community members have names perfectly suited for superheros.

  • Blake Justice, Asst. Director for Information Services, University Unions

Pirate Names

During his Tower Tour in 2007, Donald Henschel was asked by FIS to give the people around him their pirate names. Without missing a beat, he assigned the following two unforgettable monikers:

  • Ross Hartshorn, known for dressing in period attire: “Captain Vintage-Britches”
  • Carl Youngblood, who then wore his hair in a long ponytail: “The Dread Pirate Scurvy-locks”
