John Galt is a relative on my mother's side of the family. He was a prominent Scottish novelist who founded Guelph, Ontario in 1827. As the superintendent of The Canada Company, a large land company in London, England, he conceived the idea of building a town to stimulate and direct the agricultural settlement of the area. Galt planned the community with its distinctive radial design, quite different than the gridiron plan of most cities.

I also use "retro sexual" because of my vast array of old man aftershaves and vintage razors.

Stick with Hickster.

It's what I by and large am since the entering of my dotage.

Every once and again someone tracks me down and tempts me with money. This forces me to sluff off my work to one of my underlings, but they work cheap and I can use the cash.

I otherwise strive to remain true to my name.

My buddy calls himself "retro" and is an easy target for ball busting. I tell him it's always one step closer to him coming out of the closet.

Retro is only acceptable as a prefix.

fits my personality/adopted state

I stay (mostly) hidden from view, am slimy on the inside, yet delicious when cooked
