What is ARNYBARN?
My whole name is Arnold David Colvin, named for my GrandDad, Arnold David Stapleton.
He called me "Little A.D."
Anyway, through my elementary and high school career I was "David". When I went to Illinois State University I dormed at 1032 Manchester Hall.
The first day of college, they had placed everyone's name on their doors. For my door the had "Arnold Colvin" I took it off as soon as I got there but during the first "Floor meeting" someone said, "I saw an Arnold, which one is he?" Well, everyone seemed to think Arnold was a funny name and from that point on I was "Arnie"
My 2nd roommate, Mike, started calling me ArnWa, ArnsBarger, and other various derivations of the name.
One of those versions was Arnie Barney and that seem to stick - especially with my girlfriend and future wife.
Arnie Barney eventually scaled down to ArnyBarn and that is what is has been ever since.
But you can call me Dave...... :>)
