Mystery Image #19

This is a photo of an athletic team, but I’m not sure which one or when it was taken (1960s?).  I think it may be the tennis team, because I’ve seen the coach in other pictures.  Do you know?  Can you identify the coach or any of the team members?

The mystery of this image is not what is it or who is it, but when is it?    The photograph pictures a parking lot east of Blaw-Knox and north of the academic campus.  The location looks more like a military base than a college campus!  The paved area is only half the size of what [...]

Here is another mystery image for your consideration.  The record is now 13-1.  Mystery Image #14 still lacks identification — and I had such high hopes. 
Can you identify this gentleman?  Do you know where the photo was taken?

Mystery Image #10 – Identified!

I’ve mentioned my fondness for happenstance before, but I must tell you again that I get pretty excited when I stumble upon an answer! Today, I was browsing through Alumni News from 1969 and there on the front page of the February issue was Mystery Image #10!  The photo pictures the Henry Sage Estate or [...]

Mystery Image #14

I feel a little embarrassed when I post an image of a professor that I can’t identify — especially when the prof is still active on campus. The photos in my mystery file tend to be 15-25 years old and since I don’t cross paths with faculty on a regular basis, it’s not surprising that [...]

The holidays have passed, spring semester work has commenced and winter couldn’t get any worse.  Blah.  This probably won’t cure the doldrums, but it may entertain you for a moment.  I thought of inviting captions for this one, but I don’t want to divert attention from an actual identification.  My best guess for the beer [...]

Mystery Image #11 – create a caption

Posted in unidentified photographs, tagged , , , on December 2, 2008 | 11 Comments »

The first create a caption comments were amusing so I will continue to post images that defy description. There is something about this picture that just makes me smile.  Do you see what I see (click on the image to enlarge)?  The only person I can identify is George Low (5th guy in) who, thank [...]
