Bonnie or Bonnie Jo is not my real name. Though it is not my real name, I do go by Bonnie in real life. Bonnie Jo is a nickname that my hubby sometimes calls me. There is a story behind that but I won't bore you with the details of it. :laughing

Jo is also my late sister's middle name so I use Bonnie Jo as a user name on some sites as a tribute to her. Both me and my sister were Bonanza fans when we were little girls.

My Nick is not Bonanza, it's from my husband, who was used to call me Feather (because, I love USA, Native Americans and wear a necklace with feathers).

Back in school my friends used to call me Shaggy because in the morning I sometimes looked so sleepy like Shaggy from the show Scooby Doo. The number 15 because I was born on the 15th and 81 for my birth year.

When I first joined Bonanza World back in 2009, I mostly read the fan fiction stories. Since Ben is my favorite Cartwright, I decided to combine those aspects and came up with 'BensReader'. After the fall of Bonanza World, I joined Bonanza Boomers and really love it here.

My nick is a play on my real name Dan Kolesar. My last name Kolesar is Slovak. It's English translation is Cartwright.

I picked the nickname ExpressRider21 because the Pony Express fascinates me and 21 cause I'm 21 (though I will be 22 this month)!
