RE: Who is this person?
Good guess, Roger, but it's not him.

RE: Who is this person?
I figured you'd get it pretty soon, Roger. It is Philip Green Wright, who was Sandburg's favorite professor at Lombard College and who, through his Asgard Press, was the first to publish Sandburg's work, including the very first time Sandburg wrote anything about Lincoln.
To celebrate a new year, your prize is that Asgard Press will publish your memoirs, to be sold only at Wrigley Field. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this person?
You both are correct. I thought it would take a bit longer, but oh well.

RE: Who is this person?
OK, I think I might have one that will last a while. Who is this? He is an author, but not a journalist.

RE: Who is this person?
W.E.B Dubois? (Although the pictures I have seen of him show him with far less hair. Same eyes, though.)

Good tie-in with Tarbell, Roger, but it isn't Hazen.

I have to admit that's a new one on me, but it isn't him.
