My fictional hero real?!?

I wrote almost two years back about the private eye heroes of my early literary experiments here. As you can see, I had a hero called Monty Suffern, who was an Australian private eye. Now an anonymous poster found out about this and wrote:

Monty Suffern is a real Australian. He and George Fury were a famous rally car team in the 1960s-70s based at Swinburne University of Technology (then Swinburne College of Technology). Monty's interest moved to aviation and he is now at Baylor University, Texas. See http://www.waco-tx-eaa.org/publish/archive/May07newsletter.pdf

Mysteries of life and fiction! I had no idea!
