Yes, more fun than Wordle! No prizes, but what the heck.

    I don’t believe this is a picture of a young Harry Wappler. The ears don’t look like Harry’s. So, who is this??? Some old-timer may be able to figure this out.

      This had to be somewhere between 1959 and 1963, I am guessing.

    A very young Joe Towey. That is my guess. (Not certain, though) Anyone have a better guess?

    My money is on Ed Hume. He took over the KIRO radio gardening program when Cecil Solly died in 1965 and then started in TV the following year. He moved to Channel 5 in 1969.

    Where did you find this picture?

      ED HUME — that makes sense. Something in his grin. Absolutely! T.K., thank you! I was racking my brain on this one.
