Need Help With WWII-Era Autograph

I came across this little book published in 1942 which explains America's involvement in WWII. The inscription reads: "To Jillian Bussien" followed by a signature which I cannot make out.
It doesn't appear to be the editor's name, Harold Lee Hitchins, does anyone have any ideas?

how about Alfred Lesser ? that would fit. He would have obviously had interest in wanting to send a book like this to someone

Thanks Michelle and Scott. I think you're both right about the "Alfred". I also was thinking the first letter of the last name was an "L" but then what is that horizontal line that intersects with the vertical one? Maybe it's just a decorative flourish or maybe a "T"?
