Derivation of Name: Suggested by Joe Gilmore, Jr. Joe was a cowboy from West Texas. Bob Schneider knew something of the Apache "Geronimo" - he was considered a renegade and worse by the military and civilians that had to contend with him. Schneider always had some admiration for the "old cuss." The name Geronimo was painted on the left side of the nose, in large yellow block letters.
