I know right, I was thinking that too. I looked him up but couldn't find him anywhere. [[User:E93|E93]] 18:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
After Googling ''Lee R Wilson Grenade'', I've found that Lee R Wilson could be a reference to R. Lee Wilson, who was killed while throwing himself on a grenade to save his comrades: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Wilson Wikipedia Page on Robert L Wilson] [[User:Rebelgecko|Rebelgecko]] 06:01, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Aha, I think I found it.  The Robert Lee Wilson reference seems to be a coincidence.  Here is what I found, from an interview:
<i>Joe Tung: Just in case you don't know, he's the only Bungie employee with an achievement named after him. The Lee R Wilson Memorial (Score 5 grenade sticks in any ranked free for all playlist.
Lee Wilson: It's for sticking people with plasma grenades.
Pro-G: Why is it named after you?
Joe Tung: Because he can't shoot a weapon.
Lee Wilson: Because that's pretty much all I do. But I got pretty decent at it.
Joe Tung: No, you're -blam!-.</i>
