How I Got My Name

The bantam and the bee

My son was always sort of clumsy and large. In his senior year of high school at Rosewood High School he was continuing his football career. He also enjoyed raising bantam chickens and had an old rooster with long spurs. One day he arrived at football practice and informed the coach he would be unable to practice because the rooster had spurred him on the top of his foot, and on the way back to the house he stepped on a bumblebee with the same foot. His coach replied, “Okay, sit down Bumblechicken.” This became his nickname. After 18 years now, people still call him that.
