Looks like the "Dangler" though I know it isn't.

Here is the picture of Alison in 1976 I was able to find. Twenty three years before the Yosemite ceremony. I leave it to the experts. For ease of reference perhaps we should consider this person as “not Osius”?

http://www.keyschool.org/news/detail.asp?pageaction=ViewSinglePublic&LinkID=158&ModuleID=243


The “Eric Beck” person is also fifth from the right in the last row of photo 2, as has been mentioned.

Upthread the person in the last row of photo 1 and left of Frost has been identified as Ken Boche, and has been pointed out upthread is more poorly visible as fourth from the left, last row of photo 2

The white bushy haired person in Photos 1&2 I have referred to as the “Smiling gentleman”. No one has suggested an ID. No one has suggested an ID either to the “not Henry Barber” third from left,front row photo 1.

If Alison is back in the unidentified column but with Beck identified, we are still left with 7 to find. On the other hand if that is her we are down to 6.

Quite a chase?

PS Up and left from Frost in photo 4 has been identified as Mark Chapman, upthread. Also in the last row of photo 3.

The only way I was able to keep track was to print out the photos and put arrows to all the people. Then it works pretty well.

Now this is far out. The unknown in the back row with the tilted head just to the right of Burke in photo 3 could almost be Vern Clevenger, provided he was unhappy with being behind an afro and decided to put on a better shirt. Not so far out when you theorize Miller may have been told to put a shirt on for photo 4. You guys know Vern right?

Didn't Kim Schmitz kick a little dog off a cliff?

I searched some more, and still couldn't find a better quality copy of any of the photos. In fact, I couldn't find many at all. But I did find this one, which I've borrowed from another site, and which seems to fit:

So the only guy I seem to recognize is this Warbler guy.

The rest of em kinda look old.

That's how the world looks to kids like me.

Regarding Kim. (I talked to Kim 35 years ago)

We have a confusion of picture numbers. Kim is up and left of Frost in the original photo 2.

Up and left of Frost in the original photo 4 is Mark Chapman.

Perhaps Raydog (may I risk familiarity and use your given name?) can reorder and list his sharpened images to match the order in the original post? Huge improvement by the by.

Don Lashier behind Galen and to the left of Frost?

Just a wild guess .....

RE:

working on it - pics will be numbered one through four, top to bottom, each unknown will be called out as, for example, 1A, 1B, according to the number of the pics - each individual will be named
and where space is limited I'll put a line w/ an arrowhead - piece of cake but it'll take a bit of time, perhaps post sometime tomorrow - cheers John.

Upthread McKeown has been identified as third from left, front row in original picture 2. Immediately above that person is the same person found to Harding's right in original picture 1. Pack, sunglasses, hat, moustache, shirt, and attitude all the same.

In my research for this I came across something quite unbelievable. That, on occasion, there has been less than perfect relations between southern and northern Californians. I know that could never have been the case but were it to be true I would believe the person to Harding's right is Dennis Hennek. Does no one know him? I have to be wrong here?

I found a profile photo of Hennek from about the middle 60's
Not impossible.

I didn't go over there Crowley.

I'm too young for this stuff.

You have to be 1000 years old first.

layman's explanation, not good enough to belong there.

yes, but the bay seemed to produce better "chemicals", IMO.

Notably missing from these photos, I'll stretch my first list: Bob Kamps, Pat Ament, Tom Higgins, Barry Bates, Chris Fredericks, Mark Klemens, Werner (and of course a few deceased such as Frank Sacherer, Bev Johnson... we could go back even to such names as Nelson and Salathe... maybe they
w e r e present...). I keep thinking of more...

John:
Beats me. We will find out when RD puts together his pictures and the experts work with them. Half dozen maybe.

I expect Osius and Hennek are in there. Someone has to know the studious guy in the back and the smiling gentleman up front. Tune in tomorrow!!!!!

As to the more general question of inclusion, I have never seen the downside to including people.
