Bad asses on the train, hells angels, rapists, WTF? I didn't see any.

Classic shots of the Warbler?

They're in my head, haven't figured out how to convert them to jpeg yet ........

I've seen a picture of Warbler from the time period.

Bridwell, Meyers, Graham, Long, The Warbler and the usual suspects.

They're squaring off to have some sort of "T-shirt strangulation party", Long is "mugging it up" as usual.

The Warbler looks about 6'13", surf/skater blond, like the drummer in some mythic band.
One tendon long, and capable of spanning unbelievable reaches both on and off the stone.
A stone master both inside and out.

What was up with that "death match" anyways? stories?

can't say

I have to agree with those that said it's Warbler in the picture. Bachar's hair never looked like that if I remember right. But I wasn't around before 76 either.

ekatconfusedasever, too bad Tarbuster is so busy these days. He played detective on "Some old Pics and Slides" with his magnified computer and attention to detail and figured out who was who. Hey, I just want to be proven wrong. Maybe the knees just hadn't lost their baby fat yet. : }

Never having been lucky enough to hop a train before,
I've heard recently that they have been taken over
by a gang of ruffians. . . that usually do such nasties
as I pointed out above. . . I guess it's just a sign
of the times. . .

The person on the left in the photo doesn't look like JB as I knew him (slightly) in 1976/1977, and doesn't look like other photos of him from that period. I don't know who it is, though RK and WB are quite recognizable.

Perhaps Warbler and WB are having some fun with us?

if we want to assume there is a big conspiracy thing going here (anastasia, Kevin, JB, Jello and Werner are all in on it) and these guys are spoofing us, another name to think about is Jello. I've never seen him without a beard or mustache and (sorry Jeff) he might be 5 years older than those other guys (and doesn't quite look older than them in the photo) but he had opportunity (spent lots of time in Eldo back then) motive (liked to climb at the edge of what was possible like the other three) and long blond hair.

Say, it just ocurred to me that a Picture post of The Warbler and JB together in that year would kill or confirm conspiracy theory.

Then someone could pull the sheets up and make the bed. hehe.

(Maybe you'd better throw a pic of Jello in also, since he was a blond too.)

People don't change that much.
Now look at his hands, his shoulders. Plus look at the love for loud colors. Now who would love to wear FBI glasses with a funky head band?
Plus, the final kicker is who wouldn't mind wearing a pair of shorts with the hem hanging off? Some of us would get immediately annoyed and cut that thing off.
(I would.)

Kevin,

I want to see you post a picture of your girlfriend from the late 70's/early 80's. I can't remember what her name was but I remember that she was an absolute GODDESS!!

look at the height difference between Ron Kauk and Kevin/Bachar. I don't think JB is that much taller then Ron, whereas KW definately is

In the first picture, the left hand person has a rounded chin. In the second photo, where JB's face has been superimposed, there is a cleft chin. I found a fairly recent photo of JB, and he still has a cleft chin.

the height argument doesn't work, because we can't see their feet (maybe John/Kevin/Jeff is standing on a high spot or a rock).

Wasn't it Tarbuster who carried out a complete forensic evaluation of some of the J-tree photos to come to some iron-clad, irrefutable important conclusion (though I've forgotten the details). Roy - you out there?

OK so what.....

It's really Christian Griffith, Tom Cruise, then Never Grew, and the last guy on the end is some unknown poser.

Just trying to further obscurate a silly thread.

I guess somebody could photoshop CG in, but he is way to young. Oh, and it is proof that Bachar guy did have some golden locks at one point. Also you rarely see him smiling in photos. Hmmmmm?
