[QUOTE="Lee Brenkman, post: 50117, member: 154"] Re: Someone didn't check their facts on this one One of my first summer jobs was working in "the morgue" of one of the big daily newspapers in Colorado pulling and re-filing archived photographs as requested by the editorial and newsroom staff. So I have some experience deciphering the notes and stamps on the back of this photo. It's from the Detroit News - "our" John Meyer is from Berkeley California. The ad says "1954" but that's just the last time this photo was pulled from the files and re-used. The shot was taken and first processed by the newspaper in 1943. The founder of Meyer Sound Labs wasn't quite born yet. The man in the photo is John "Spike" Meyers - with an "s" at the end of his name. I think the seller didn't even read the rest of the bio he copied from Wikipedia OR the back of the photo. Okay, I'll stop showing off now ;-). [/QUOTE]
