The most recent legal names I've been known as(not incl. middle names), from earliest:

Dirk Foster
Dirk Welsh
**** Kinvig
Dirk Kinvig
Justin John.


The last one wasn't my fault. I only discovered that was who the Russians were expecting when I got to Budapest in Hungary. So at the borders/checkpoints/hotels/traffic police stops I had to be Justin John. All because of some official at the Russian Embassy in London.

**** Kinvig wasn't my fault either.


EDIT: For some reason the shorterned form of Richard has been ****'ed out!
