Margo, I'm sure Humphrey Appleby is alive and well and he's constantly referred to!

yes, he did have a title
a writer hyphenate (a --------- who wrote..)
European
not in entertainment

dead after all

not -
Henry Adams
Horatio Alger
Herb Alpert
Harry Anderson
Harold Arlen
Henry Aldridge

Margo, you smartie, I was just about to give up and give it..

You go, girl...

I'm just waking up, so didn't do anything that required thinking.

I just googled Sir Harold and looked at about 15 pages of names Confused I've never heard of Sir Harold Acton!

Here we go:
