Bullwinkle was my handle in 1969 Isla Vista during those “days of rage” Great time to be coming of age in Santa Barbara in the 60's-

In the 80's and 90's it was my radio call sign - as in "Bullwinkle mobile" - hand held radio out and about - or "bullwinkle" when underway on the sailboat. Identification of the players and location on a crowded net was important - this was all pre cell phone, sailors used the vhf & ssb radio to keep in touch, pass info and offer help to those in trouble. All while moving about the world at six knotts.

In the 90's bullwinkle bought a 8088 machine and went back to school for the second time - the handle stuck

More folks know me as Bullwinkle than my “real” name - grin.
