While "distinguised" is a typo which cries out to be defined (= 
distinguished + disguised?), inspiration fails me, so I'll just 
contribute to the topic. 

I'd nominate the sleep guy, Wilse Webb, at the University of Florida.

"Webb Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Psychology Professor Emeritus Wilse B. (Bernie) Webb will receive the 
Ernest R. Hilgard Award for distinguished contributions to general 
psychology next year. The award recognizes lifetime contributions to the 
study of psychology and is given by the Society for General Psychology, a 
division of the American Psychological Association. Webb will be honored 
at the group's annual meeting in August 2002.

Webb came to UF in 1958 as chair of the psychology department, and he was 
appointed graduate research professor in 1969. He is known for pioneering 
work in sleep research. His efforts focused on sleep as a biological 
rhythm, sleep-deprivation effects and viewing sleep as an evolutionarily 
developed adaptive process.

Webb's first article on sleep research was published in the Journal of 
Experimental Psychology in 1957. Since then he has authored eight books 
and more than 40 book chapters and 225 journal articles. In 1992 he 
received the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Sleep Research 
Society."

OK, how about "Dr. Anonymous" as an example of a distinguised individual?
(see http://tinyurl.com/2mq7lm ). He's not from Florida, though.
