TBD on Ning

Who am I--now? Avatar?

As everyone can see, I've used a special 'avatar'/signature on all the graphics I've made for many years. I chose Altara after my first favorite sci-fi movie: Forbidden Planet. I didn't like how 'they' spelled the name of the character Ann Francis played: Altaira. I changed it to make it 'mine', when I started writing back in the late 1960's.

When I started a website online, I chose Altara as my username. But that site is now pretty much gone. So I chose a different username for the next site I went to--where I recently deleted my accounts. I've made several 'avatars' but recently decided to make a different one. I can't find the original graphic, so I've just added 'Dianne' to 'Altara'. I'm not sure if I'll keep both names on there. For now, this is what I'm using on new comment graphics.
