We couldn’t even nail down the mystery guest’s field of occupation. All we got is sometimes Arts, sometimes sports-related stuff, which could mean he threw out the first pitch for baseball games for all we know. My best guess is Garo Yepremian, but that’s not it. ---

I won’t be surprised if no one comes up with the correct answer, but I will be **extremely** surprised if it turns out none of you have heard of him. ---

All I’ve got so far is “Gentleman Jim” Corbett, and it can’t be him. Still pondering. ---

Spoiler included for last-second guesses. 😃 I became involved in Scouting when I was a boy in Denmark, and continued after coming to the US. I wrote the first three editions of the _Patrol Leader’s Handbook_, as well as three editions of the _Boy Scout Handbook_. My name was originally Vilhelm Jensen, but I changed it to William Hillcourt soon after settling in the States, and I was better known to several generations of Boy Scouts as **G** reen Bar Bill. ---

I wasn’t a boy scout either. They kicked me out for eating too many brownies. (I keed, I keed) ---
