His full name was Bucky Dornster. He was the only engineer who came to work
with a cold beer in his hand and you could do nothing about it because he
was "union".
He would tell Carlson and the rest "if you don't like it, take it up with my
union!" One 
of the most inept yet color characters on the show. He only made about 8 or
10 
appearances on the show. In real life he had a radio job once, (if I
remember correctly.)
