My thanks to @rainbowjay20 for pointed me out the group picture from the Open Air Theatre 70′s Anniversary Gala in 2002 with a mid-centered clownish Benedict. Original version is good but Benedict’s face is as big as a pea. I’ve rescaled, got a blurry picture which I’ve tried to get as neat as possible. I’m afraid my tools can’t allow me to go any farther.

I wonder if Gladys Francis Holtham and Fredrick Howard Ventham knew that only five years after they married in Brighton would be one of the most important days?

Happy Birthday, Wanda!
