Who is that masked man?

Two  members of the class have indicated that they have reunion photos they'd like to have posted. While we're waiting for them to arrive I have a mystery photo to share with you. Which classmate will be the first to figure out who this is? You will have to use the comment button to give your answer. Sorry, there's no other way. Instructions are right above this post.

I'll give one hint: It isn't Ed Huetteman standing next to his latest birthday present.  Charlie isn't eligible to participate since he knows who it is. Good luck.

And. On the subject of luck I do hope that all my classmates on the Eastern seaboard weather this "Frankenstorm", Sandy,  without too much difficulty and that you and your families remain unscathed. Those of you inclined might snap a few photos and send them to the blog. I do not mean to sound self-serving. This will be an historic event, one of the last of our lifetimes, perhaps, and should be recorded.

Stay safe.

Update 11-13-12 We have a winner on the name that masked man mystery question. You'll have to click the comments link to find out who it is and who guessed  correctly.
