(To paraprase W.C. Williams, everything depends on a red baseball cap . . . )

Well since no one seems to have the gift of GIF, let me briefly, vaguely try
to describe the guy in the baseball cap so that Jules S. can make thumbs up
or down.  Did he strike anyone else as sort of rabbitty-looking in the face?
Granted, he didn't look much like the antique high school photo, but I
wonder if Tommy didn't have a late growth spurt or something.  It does look
more like the less-seen navy photo of him than any of the others.

So my guess is that if the baseball cap guy isn't Pynch, it's the
ectoplasmic manifestation of Jimmy Stewart's drinking buddy, Harvey--perhaps
an even bigger scoop.  Of course, they could be one and the same.

hope I don't go to Pynchon Hell for this,
Craig B.
