Got it today. Thanks, Danielle (and Richard and David)!

 

I'm actually sort of surprised that so many people came up with the right answer. I found it on Google, but I was lucky -- it appears that there's only a single page on the entire web that lists his middle name. Would anyone else like to talk about what references they used, or is this just something that some people know?

 

Thanks!
