Regardless I got it.

Joseph A. Robitaille

it is odd that it was published on his birthday, he was 40 years old at the time. Good Q and A.

I don't know where everyone is getting Feb 22 from. It was published Feb 2, 1922 on Joyce's 40th birthday according to at least a dozen sources. BUT, be that as it may, it is still a useless question. True/False question are 90% of the time true and are simply a sign of laziness. The author could have, with a slight expenditure of effort, made it a multiple choice.
