The following author entries come from Part 19 except for the last one, which can be found in Part 3, where I combined two batches of information about Glenn Canary together.

   Most of the names in this post are minor ones, but they’re all interesting people, about whom we know more about than we do others. But one of them has a strong connection with an author included in the last post. There aren’t any prizes for naming him. All you need to do is read on…
