Right you are, **Prof. P**.! I am indeed Jim Bob Duggar Patriarch of the ginormous Duggar clan: [Jim Bob Duggar - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bob_Duggar). I haven’t seen the show either, but I’ve certainly heard of him and his progeny. Well done! ---

Grats, Prof. I’m too entrenched in typical Botticelli categories to consider Reality TV, which I avoid like the plague. IQ1: Are you an English poet and illustrator, famous for nonsense limericks and neologisms like “runcible spoon”? IQ2: Are you another nonsense artist noted for your gothic style in illustrating children’s books? IQ3: Did you typically play gangsters in early 20th century movies, including roles as Rico and Rocco? ---

Everett Dirksen is correct! He scored a #16 hit with the spoken word single “Gallant Men”! Tennis star Evonne Goolagong’s name means “Trees by still water” in Australian Aborigine.
