We had a few rounds here last year. 
Is “aha” a yes or a no?
I’m guessing no, otherwise you might know who I mean.
But you’d be wrong, because I was thinking of Stephen Hadley, but I just looked him up and he’s over 50, so he couldn’t be your guy, and I’m probably not entitled to a direct question.
Sorry I’m screwing up your game. 
Someone pointed out to me earlier that under the rules the guess doesn’t have to fit the known criteria. (Still has to have the initials though.)
No worries about screwing up the game. I made some mistakes the first time I played it (and made a couple in this one too).
You get a Direct Question.
The indirect questions do not have to match the increasingly narrow criteria. They just have to point to a person with the initials “SH”
At this point, I’m thinking that if someone figures out an “SH” that *does * meet all the criteria, that’s gotta be the person.
Are you a CEO?
Hm. Difficult. He’s definitely in charge, but I don’t know how he ‘ranks’ other than what he’s known for. At the risk of giving a hint, I’ll say that he is ‘in a position of authority’. Since I can’t definitively answer your DQ, you may have another DQ.
SH is…
[ul][li]Male[/li][li]Not a fictional character[/li][li]Not an artist[/li][li]Not an author[/li][li]Not an entertainer[/li][li]American[/li][li]Alive[/li][li]Under 50 years old[/li][li]Caucasian[/li]In a position of authority[/ul]
At last! It’s a different Steve Howe, this time the guitarist of Yes.
My question is: does he hold a political office?
Was it the first person to hold the title U.S. Secretary of Education?
No.

No, I’m not Shirley Hufstedler.
Did this person appear in a music video with a kid in a bumblebee suit?
No, and I don’t know who you mean.
Well, time for me to hit the rack. Hasta mañana.
It was Shannon Hoon, lead singer of Blind Melon. Their famous “No Rain” video had a little girl running around dressed as a bee.
Question- does he work in the field of sports?
Are you a retired figure skater who battled cancer?
Were you nominated for an Emmy for your role as a gay man in a sitcom?
Are you in military service?
No, I’m not in the field of sports.
Can you make that an indirect question?
No, I’m not Sean Hayes.
No, I’m not Scott Hamilton

Were you a darling Olympic gold medal figure skater later turned actress?
No, I’m not Sonja Henie.
