Yes, since S doesn't stand for anything, please leave off the period.
Thanks for catching it!

Thank you, Carrie. This is very useful info.
(Re number 4 -- I assume that if the name itself has a
middle initial and it does not stand for a middle
name, e.g., Harry S Truman, we leave it the way it's
supposed to be (smile). There's a publisher like
that, too, I think, but I can't remember the name.)
