The reference to this photo in the first three lines is incorrect. The person in the photo is Andrew Jackson. He was a workstudy student in the Physics Department. He is cutting a piece of wood in the Physics Department Wood Shop. Later he was employed by the Department as the Director of Phsics Laboratories. He obtained his bachelors degree in Physics and a masters in Mathematics from Appalachian and a doctorate in Theoretical Physics from Wake Forest University. He is deceased.

An earlier modification of this image was sent. It contains an incomplete name of the person: His name should be Andrew J. Graham.
