Birthday banner 9
2013


In youth a student of chemistry,
Then a bouncer, then a "Frenchy",
He was in this year, unexpected,
The two-six-six one elected.

I figured out who the "he" is -- but I'm struggling with where to go next.

>6 rebcamuse:
It’s an author page but going there directly didn’t give me a banner. What I did was to find one of his books and click the name, and it gave me a banner. I hope this helps.

I went to one of his books, clicked his name, and still got nothing.

If you know the person do an LT search by author; in the RHS menu, click on 'author' and then on their name.

Well, maybe I am wrong, because that does not work for me.

I'm stumped on this one. I've tried a few options, shall I try the Talk feature if i can figure out the name?

I can't ever tell these apart so I had to open about 40 tabs of potentials until I got the right one 😂

>14 SquirrelHead: 'Frenchy' is a clue to the name, if you have the right group, of which he was the 266th.

I am only missing clue 10 for 2014. I have researched archives, joined the treasure hunt group, looked in Talk but I'm at a loss. I have 19 but this one is elusive!
This is a fun hunt though.

>20 SquirrelHead: You'll probably need to use the internet to discover who it is and then come back and search LT for his name.

>21 humouress: I was able to get that one. Didn't think of an obvious click on an author name. Duh! I very much appreciate the help and encouragement!
