I'm hoping that this month's mystery will be a little easier than the last three. While at Diocesan Council Retreat in November 2013, Doug Harder approached me at dinner and asked if I would help him identify the man in the photograph. Doug found the photograph on display in the main meeting room at Kimsey Commons and stated that both Diane Adams and Bishop Nedi had no idea who the man was. The archivist in me thought that I should remove the photo from the room and its frame, scan and then store it away in a polyethylene enclosure and acid-free photo box in the archives. Then, I noticed that it was one of only a few photographs displayed in the room, and uncertain of its purpose, left it alone. Instead, I took a photo of the image with my phone (sorry for poor quality), and decided to use it for this month's mystery. It occurred to me that I could just ask Rusty, but that would be too easy. Either way, I would like to hear from you.
