Decipherment help needed... anyone?

I've got a book with an inscription that seems as if it should BE something -- but I can't for the life of me figure out the name of the signer (signature).  So -- in honor of wanting to get something done today, I'm posting the picture I have of the inscription, hoping that someone else can figure it out.

If you come up with a possible name, please email me & I'll start poking around to see who this is.

  If you click on the picture, it should get larger.

The book itself is Hawaii by James Michener.
