What a funny story. I had a student several years ago who was sent to the library to do independent research (this was a third grader). He started by looking in the encyclopedias--I asked if he needed help he said no. He continued to look through various reference books and I asked again--this time he said he was looking for a sports star Harry Fonte. I quickly suggested several sources and went to the sports books and could not find him. I suggested he go back and write the name down, perhaps he had spelled it wrong. He came happily skipping back into the library and said "He's got a middle name Bella---and he was a singer" On his paper was the name Harry Belafonte.
