Pioneer Pete was created during the pandemic as a storyteller about Westward Expansion. He had a humble beginning, but has quickly become a student favorite with the "yarns" that he spins, over-the-top personality, "golden spike", and mustache giveaways.

My "friend" Tommy has not found his niche. Around 10 years ago he first appeared in a parody music video. I created for the New Nation Era. He has made random appearances in various forms. I have ideas to give him a unique identity.

When we began to have "Pirate Day" to teach about the economic & political impacts they had on Colonial Carolina, I thought it would be fun to be Blackbeard. Eventually I decided that I would create a fictional "friend" named Madbeard.

Determining which one of my "friends" came second is a bit difficult for me. The second and third ones came around the same time. I am going to say that Madbeard (Aarrgh!) was it. He is the most feared pirate to sail the seas.

The first "friend" I created was Mr. Smith. There are two versions of the same character: Boom and Bust. He was created before I knew there would be more "friends" ... before I even had a name for him ... before I had any idea this would be a thing for me.
