Geoff Arnold, second from right on the front row, brought the photo in in the hope that Herald & Gazette readers might be able to name the two boys’ names that he could not remember.

Since then, Geoff and Robin Smith, far right on the front row, have put their heads together and have identified Tony Rangles as the boy second from left on the back row.
