I am pretty sure I downloaded the following photo - an even earlier view than the two above - from here, but I was unable to find the post that contained it, so I don't know the source:
(I happened to save it because I am a fan of They Might Be Giants, a band whose two integral members are both named John. As such they have often been referred to as "John & John" or "The 2 Johns.")
