Answer:
Vicki Clutterbuck (#7) is an acquaintance of my mother-in-law.
Burns Magruder (#10) is a name we saw flipping through the staff pages of the Metropolitan Opera’s Playbill.

There was a pitcher for the Brewers named Brian Clutterbuck. Much better name than Gregg Buttocks.

Scott was hoping Norman Kunk Jr was the one.
