Sweetwater Jack, SASS #28885L

Reason Behind the Alias:
It was a military "call sign" I had. I tell people it came about from wearing an "overdose" of after-shave lotion.

History of the Persona:
Sweetwater Jack is a former Cavalry Officer who has drifted West after working as a professional gambler on Mississippi Riverboats and occasionally as a lawman. He's been a town Marshal, Deputy Sheriff and some say he might even be undercover as a Federal (U.S.) Marshal. We DO know that he recently returned to the folds of the military and rides as a Lt. Colonel of the 7th US Cavalry out of Fort Wahooha near the town of Toostone, Arizona Territory. The good Colonel is also a rated Army Aeronaut and commands the local Observation Balloon Detachment.

Job:
Nothing! Retired Ship's Officer, Army Aviator, Airline (TWA) Instructor...that's enough! Tires me out just to think about being retired from all that..

Other Hobbies:
Golf, Flying, Building Model Ships/Aircraft.

Last Thoughts:
Enjoy life. Shoot straight, live well and long enough to be a problem to your children!
