One member of that team was of Oriental descent, and had some unpronounceable first name, and the last name of Lee. So his first name was shortened to its initials, and he was known as "C.K. (see-kay) Lee." C.K. was rather new to this country, and had not really mastered English spelling too well. One day, my friend Eric found him marking boxes for shipping: "by track(sic)". Eric said something on the order of "C.K., that's not how you spell truck!", which is how the boxes were to be shipped. Dr. Lee looked at the boxes, thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly, "U-C-K?" To which Eric replied: "No, no! Me Eric! YOU C. K.!"
