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." (from http://clasnews.clas.ufl.edu/clasnotes/alumninotes/01fall/atc.html OK, how about "Dr. Anonymous" as an example of a distinguised individual? (see http://tinyurl.com/2mq7lm ). He's not from Florida, though. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
