I'm always stuck between a rock and a hard place when I want to use a a name and a title/job function in a possessive phrase. E.g.: *My sister's, Charity's, car is an Altima. My sister, Charity, has a car: it's an Altima. The car of my sister Charity is an Altima. Dr Solow was the teacher of my economic growth professor Mark Machina for economic growth back in his grad school days.
