Default Complex MAX and Lookup

Please help, I need to execute a complex MAX and LOOKUP.

I have a worksheet set up like this:

col D col E col F col G
Mike 1 10/1/2007 10/23/2007
Mike 3 10/24/2007 2/1/2008
Mike 7 2/2/2008 2/21/2008
Mike 2 2/22/2008 3/17/2008
Phil 11 10/1/2007 10/19/2007
Phil 44 10/20/2007 3/13/2008
George 56 2/1/2008 3/14/2008
George 13 3/15/2008 3/19/2008

On a second worksheet, I start by putting all the names (one time each) in
column A. For each of these names in column A, I need to return the largest
number that appears in column E of the above table, where column D matches
the name in col A of the new worksheet. Then, in cols C and D of the new
worksheet, I need the dates from cols F and G above which appear on the same
row as the maximum number which has been returned to the col B of the new
worksheet.

The new worksheet would look like this:

col A col B col C col D
Mike 7 2/2/2008 2/21/2008
Phil 44 10/20/2007 3/13/2008
George 56 2/1/2008 3/14/2008

I'm at a loss so far...How do I go about making this happen?
