You're missing "Ringo" Strzepanek, maintenance engineer.

Unfortunately for Pete "Sayonara" Fujimoto, the three principles formed a power block and eased him out before the corporation was formed.

You forgot to mention the power struggle with the klingon, Yorki Bono after the partnership became hugely successful.

Brian, is that pronounced "BAH-no" or "BONE-oh"?

>>Pete "Sayonara" Fujimoto<<
This must be the Rick parallel to Pete Best, but there must have been a previous Pete involved in Rick's early years, just like Pete Shotton was fired from the Quarrymen. Hopefully the Rick-related subject didn't have a washboard cracked over his head by John Dopyera.

Ringo Strzepanek's stage name was "Richard."
