[SIGCIS-Members] Need help identifying a photo

[HOCHHEISER, SHELDON H]

I find it interesting that this photo appears on Wikipedia commons, since it is of course a photo that was taken by Bell Labs, and thus is not in the public domain.    

I have the original here at the AT&T Archives and History Center.

Paul, I'll be happy to provide a license.

K. responded: "Dennis (bearded) is standing.  Ken (clean shaven) is 
seated. The label is correct."
