Are you Little Big Man, AKA Jack Crabb?
Are you Leamas from The Spy Who Came In From The Cold?
Yes! I am supercentenarian, former gunslinger and former Army scout Jack Crabb, known to the Cheyenne as Little Big Man.
Good question, SCA! Nicely guessed, DLR!
Dammit! Should have gotten that - well done, DLR.
It was the hint that did it. New thread will be up later.

I struggled with the question of whether or not to do that.
Thanks. I’ve been planning it for almost a year.
New thread is here.
