*Konstandinos Michalakakos -- 2 different theories as to why he has a different name: (1) George Revelos said his mother, Effrosyni Aridas, learned when she was in Greece in the 1950's that the original family name was Michalakakos, but an ancestor had long legs and he got the nickname "Arida" (long leg or big foot); (2) George Aridas said the original family name was Aridas, but Kostandinos was a minister in Athens and he didn't like the name Aridas so he took his father's name, Michail, and called himself Michalakakos.
