LA Times article of Feb. 27, 2011 quoting the book "The Hollywood Sign" by Leo Braudy list the donors as "rocker Alice Cooper; Playboy founder Hugh Hefner; California Angels owner Gene Autry; singer Andy Williams; Dennis Lidtke, owner of a Hollywood graphic design company called Gribbit!; Terrence Donnelly, publisher of the Hollywood Independent; Giovanni Mazza, an Italian producer; and Les Kelley of Kelley Blue Book." The Wiki article says the D was donated by Matthew L. Williams, who isn't listed in the Times article, and the Wiki article doesn't mention Dennis Lidtke. What gives?
