| Coffee Cup | |||
| Coffee cup with the OcUnit One patch. There is a story behind the name on the cup. I was at an airport with Neil Schmidt and they were paging "Mr P. U. Sateri, Mr P. U. Sateri". Neil heard that and for the next four years I was "Sateri". Some people didn't even know what my real name was. Even the officers called me Sateri. So, if you look at the bottom of my coffee cup you'll see "SATERI". |
