@Laura Whitaker Ha! I read colony and thought state! (But the states didn't exist when he was born.) Too smart by half. :-) Thanks for helping me wake up today.
I always solve crosswords from the bottom up. It's a bit different, but it works for me. Couple that with the incorrect highlighting and my inattentiveness. I had a very different idea for the theme.

@Jane Wheelaghan Tralfaz?! Yuck!
