There is at least ONE instance.   The guide on a WE live called him that.   He was apparently scolded for it and he’s refrained for using it again :).  

It’s his “social media” name.   

I don’t ever understand the commotion and how bent people get with names.    I mean is CASPER really a guide/ranger name?   Yet it seems widely adopted.   

Anyways.   I digress.  :) Reply
