Could be the photo was originally of Cook and Ayers. It would be an interesting project for someone who had the skills to determine that.
Heaven knows if the caption that came with this image is the real deal, but the watch he's wearing appears to be the same watch as in the image with Genevieve Cook...and the jacket is also his judging from a number of previous images. Why he's SHORTER in the photo with Genevieve and why his head is so out of proportion, is another thing...maybe he just had a funny look on his face or he had a beard, so they gave him a nicer looking face - who knows?
We decided to focus on what the episode revealed. By placing him with Genevieve who was at the Bank Street college with Ayres, at which college apparently Tom Ayres, the father was on the board, they pretty much verified what the Postman Hulton told...
