Usually I go right at the cryptogram & try to solve it without looking at all the clues everyone leaves.
This time I looked at the clues first and boy did they help. Got this one in under 40 seconds.
Would not have got the name if the letters were not in the phrase. Never heard of this person.

Thank you nikos1121 again for the morning distraction.
