Could this be Ross in 67-68? AT first, I thought no, definitely not. But I am trying to imagine Ross with a full head of hair, or the guy in the pic with a short haircut. Their nose is somewhat similar. I still lean towards it not being him, but want to know what everybody else thinks. This pic is from a list of unidentified University of Santa Cruz students from 1967-68. Up2something provided me with the link to view the pics.

I don't believe so. I do not see a lot of similarities, but keep trying!! I am hoping to get a chance to as well.

I definitely agreed with you guys at first, but I am not so sure. I know the ears appear different, and in the closeup pic of Ross from 59, his head is tilted and I wonder if that makes his ears appear different. But their noses look identical to me as far as formation,shape,etc. I personally am not sure this isn't Ross, but then again,I can't say it's him either

If only the Guy in the pic wasn't smiling, I think the lips would help. And the guy in the pic has too much hair to tell what his hairline looks like.

See how Ross' ear kind of bends in? The other guys does not. Still, it could be Ross, but I don't think they look alike other than the nose.

The noses are really similar. The unknown guy has a jaw that appears much stronger - but it is hard to compare, because that part of Ross's face is pretty tough to make out in that photo. I see the slight difference in the ears. And the hair, regardless of the length, looks different in texture and color. But hair color is hard to decifer in black and white photos.

I'm just trying to age Ross almost 8 years, and with a full head of hair, I just don't know. I still think their noses are awfully close

Actually, using a smartphone helps as you can zoom in on these pics without destabilizing the pic. Despite their noses, I don't think the guy on the right has a widows peak, even with his longer hair, it doesn't appear that way to me

This man with the hair does not appear to have a weight problem as Ross was said to have.

The Guy certainly does not look thin
