when I enlarged it a it the first kid disappeared..lol...
this is what made it seem like it could be him even if it was blurry - the way he's holding his head in the football pic reminded me of this one at mariposa 2000.

at the birthday party on Nov.11,2012 in the Opera House some folks had an old school yearbook and were going thru it and the faces and the names with Gordon. it was nice to watch them.

terrific stuff!!

it would have been nice to have accepted the invite to participate in the 75th up there this past year, but a little less regretful to miss out knowing that we also weren't missing "fly on the wall" moments like that stuff...there was a little museum display, said RJ

cool you have the poster... maybe in 58 years it will be as tattered and historic as these yearbooks, lol

i cant believe it was just sitting there in an old store (maybe the used oned one Lightfoot Lane?) for a few bucks... it reminded me when i saw that hardcase VHS of Harry Tracy brand new for $1.... i thought "WHAT THE?".... this is historic, lol

as a wild educated guess Touchy
Presumably Jimbo thought that giving access to the photo with a helpful caption included could spare us the pain of trying to guess which blurry figure was our hero
I make it that according to that caption Gord is the 11th from the left in the back row bearing number 32,
still small and blurry but I think I recognise the ears!!
