NPR People: Kee Malesky http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100844&ft=1&f=2100844 NPR listeners often ask, "What is her name anyway - Keema Leski, Kim Alesky, Kay Marlenski, or what?" Her name is Kee Malesky, nee Christine Mary Shields, of Brooklyn, N.Y. The "Christine" became "Kee" when her youngest sister learned to talk, and because she thought it was a rather cool name, she stuck with it.
