A picture of Mel Kaye (the Real Programmer) [pdf]

(Context: http://catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html)

He's in the image at the bottom-left of page one. I found it via Google after extracting the right keywords from an e-mail conversation between myself and Ed Nather.

Sadly, not even a Real Programmer can escape Google.

I tried to clean things up a bit: https://wm.sdf.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10031/melkaye.png

Is it more or less clear than the original?

Easy examination of the PDF through Google Docs Viewer:

He looks young enough to still be alive.
