I'm kinda wonderin'. How did Chris get the handle 'Pockets'?
depends on which version you want ... Patrick who named him, me who was standing with Patrick when he named him, or Chris's version, well at least what we told him

I honestly think the story is WAY better...
well it was many years ago and Chris was about 16 at the time. I was meeting Patrick at Lime Rock Race Park to set up for a weekend show. This was probably the second or third show Chris had come to. Patrick had been helping me at shows for a few years and knew exactly what we were doing. Chris and Patrick had not me before either. So Patrick and I were busy laying out the poles for the tents and we both had our hands full, and Patrick looked over at Chris standing by the van with his hands in his pockets ... Patrick couldn't remember his name so he yelled out " Hey Pockets why don't you come over here and help" .. the name stuck.. Chris had never had a nickname before and he also liked it, so there a legend was born ....well that's my version and I'm sticking to it ...
