Can any GoDCer help us identify the man in the middle? GoDCer Josh sent this in back in January and we’re now getting around to posting it (sorry it took so long Josh).
Below is the email he sent with the image.
Hi,
I think you re-tweeted this photo when we posted it, but despite multiple retweets, we haven’t gotten any closer to an answer.
So, would you mind sending this out in one of your e-mails too?
Our main question is: Is the man in the center Dave Clarke? Secondarily, any clue on the date? (The dates when Barry was Mayor, Clarke was Council Chair, and the third person, Ruth Dixon, was head of the League of Women Voters…unfortunately don’t overlap, so that easy means of guesstimating the date is a no-go.)
Much obliged!
Thanks,
Josh

I don’t think it is David Clark. David’s eyes were different and he was taller.
The guy from The Dave Clark 5 band?

Before I even opened the article, I immediately thought it was David Clarke. Not sure.

The man in the photo is: JOHN FORBES KERRY
Here is a photo of the Kerry.
This is perhaps a better photo of young Kerry.
Given his history, support for statehood, and relationship with the city I have to go with David Clarke. Also, it does look like him.

Not David Clarke – throw this one up on Facebook and we’ll share on Old Time D.C. Can likely get an answer.
Quite possibly David A. Clarke…

Looks like you ID’ed the guy!
I don’t think it’s John Kerry, this guy in the picture has a different nose
Ralph Nader
