Another challenging letter going on... By googling I found nothing better than film assistant Carol Urquhart.
David Uosikkinen (b. 1956), American drummer, founding member of The Hooters. Surname suggests he has Finnish roots.  I had this album as a teenager. Not sure who's Uosikkinen, perhaps in the middle... For E. U., there's a children's writer from Finland's neighbour country.  Not sure if he's well known internationally, but here he's a definite classic. And there's a cathedral in Helsinki sharing the same surname.

I thought I had X.T. in Javier Tomeo (Spanish writer), or Y.T. in Jannick Top (bassist in Magma), but I remembered the spelling wrong.
Zacharias - or Zachris - Topelius (1818 - 1898), Finnish writer, one of the earliest novelists in Finland. His first name is usually represented in the Finnish form Sakari, but he was Swedish-speaking.  |
