Karol Ruth Silverstein: Hi, my name is Karol Ruth Silverstein. I do spell my first name with a K, no E. and there's a funny story about why my parents spelled my name with a K that's a little not suitable for all environments, but I will tell you in code that they had a friend named Carol whose last name started with an S. And back then, when I was born, people would use initials instead of cursing. And she said, "Don't give your daughter the initials CS because people use the word CS instead of the actual curse word it stood for." So they named me with a K, which makes me really happy because I love the letter, and they never could imagine that by the time I was in school people would just be cursing and not using initials. I was lucky I got the K out of it.
