Yes.
I wouldn’t say balding, but I had a distinctly receding hairline, was an African leader and a strong advocate of pan-Africanism, and met with Kennedy at least once, in 1961. I am Kwame Nkrumah, the first Prime Minister and President of Ghana.
(Don’t know the other two.)
Realised after it was too late to edit that I should have said “Not Joshua Lawrence Khamberlain.” ![]()

IQ1: Are you an Austrian painter, whose work, such as The Kiss, is notable for a frank eroticism? Correct, Gustav Klimt; in fact, it was your answer to a previous IQ that put me in mind of this artist.

I think I know who you were thinking of, Prof P, but I’d have to guess that the best known resident of Coconino County is now Jim Walmsley, the ultramarathoner whose training group is nicknamed “the Coconino Cowboys”.
Coconino County was the home of Krazy Kat.
And Ignatz, too. But how many people now recognize Krazy Kat now? Probably as many who recognize Jim Walmsley. I’d guess, anyhoo.
