David Shulman
David Shulman (November 12, 1912–October 30, 2004) was an American lexicographer and cryptographer.
He contributed many early usages to the Oxford English Dictionary and is listed among "Readers and contributors from collections" for the second edition of the OED (1989). He was also the author of "Washington Crossing the Delaware," a 14-line sonnet in which every line was an anagram of the first.
