I don't see any evidence of this having happened (either as a real person, or in-universe if fictitious).
The qualified answer here makes me think this person was born close to the end of the range we've narrowed down.

Life got busy... had to step back my time on the site. Won't be able to play 20 Qs quite as frequently as before, but I'll hop in occasionally!
