Pugwash in China

 

 

This photo is one of a large number from the 41st Conference held in Beijing, China in September 1991.

 

We think the man on the left could be Samuel Okoye (Nigeria) and that the man on the right is possibly Emmanuel Erskine (Ghana). Are we right?

• Who can you identify in this group photo from the 28th Conference in Varna, Bulgaria (1978)?

In addition to Joseph Rotblat, we think we can identify Kaplan, who is third from the left in the front row, and fifth from the left could be Essam Galal.

Joseph Rotblat and Checked Tablecloth

Here we have a picture of a young Joseph Rotblat giving a speech from a table with a checked tablecloth.

 Behind him is a chairman. 

Judging from Professor Rotblat's age, we believe this is the late 1950s or early 1960s.

Does anybody have any information on where or when this event took place?

We think this is 39th Conference in Cambridge USA, July 1989.

Do you recognise any of these people?

The copyright on the back of this group shot details Mazo, Santander, Spain. 

There are no listed Pugwash events in Spain from this time.

We think this was 1950s, do you know what this event may have been?

We can see Joseph Rotblat second from the right in the front row. Do you recognise anybody else? Could the man to Professor Rotblat's right be the same man as img090 (1960s 'Tropical Paradise')?

Maciej Nalecz (1970s)

The first person on the far right is Maciej Nalecz.

Maciej Nalecz joined Pugwash in 1972. He attended 74 events, including conferences, symposiums and workshops.

Do you recognise anybody else?

Do you know which meeting this was?

We think that the person on the far left of the front row is Ogunlade Davidson. If so could it have been the 31st Conference Arms Limitations: The Search for Peace in a World in Crisis in Banff, Canada, 1981?

Geneva Workshop (September 1996)

img555, a photo by pugwashphotoarchive on Flickr.

Thanks to modern cameras, we have an exact date: 21st September 1996. It was the Fifth Workshop of the Pugwash Study Group on the Implementation of the Biological and Chemical Weapons Conventions, held in Geneva.

Unfortunately we cannot read the name tags. Obviously we can see Martin Kaplan, Francesco Calogero and Joseph Rotblat in the front row.

Do you recognise anybody else?
