To: anyone who can be of some help.
For those who do not know me, I have a website IBMcollectables.com and am
very interested in the history, use, and abuse of the IBM logo. While
running down some 2070 images, I came across this press release in the
computerhistory.org archive. any assistance in determining the Who, Where,
and When of this photo will be appreciated.
Here is a direct link to the picture....

The "who" looks to be Fred Brooks. I'd guess the time of the photo to be
June,
1964 - the announcement of the System 360. I was in the IBM Poughkeepsie lab
at the time - and about monthly was in meetings with Brooks in his office. I
wrote a diagnostic monitor for the first 360/40 produced and became technical
manager of a team which modeled System 360 hardware and OS software.
Regards,
Lyle
