The photo shows Childress with the Elite Giants. It's from his SABR BioProject biography.

I'm the guy that wrote his bio. Thanks for sharing it!

I got this at a shop years ago for little to nothing and was told it was of Carlos Macia idk if thats right or not since I don't know what it came from originally. The back of this little I'm assuming newspaper snip, features a photo of Jose Romero, the same one that appears on his seamheads page if that helps with possibly identifying this guy.
