Flashback Friday! Today’s feature comes with a bit of a mystery. Pictured here is an unknown man standing outside the Caldwell school fire escape. For some time, he was believed to be Harold “Hoot” Gibson, but after confirmation from a family member, we now know that is not the case. Based on his appearance and the setting, we believe he was a faculty member.

The question is: who was he? Calling all Caldwell alumni, do you remember seeing this man during your time as a student? If he looks familiar, share your thoughts in the comments.
