I see a picture of Bradley Clarke has made it into the public domain, even 
though the picture he gave you didn't.

Looks like it was taken on a 1968 fan trip by David Wilson.

David seems to have released a small number of his Flickr pictures into the 
public domain (Creative Commons) which means that PTM (or indeed anyone) could 
add them to their collection or use them in publications. The search below 
will list all of his creative commons images that include the word 
"Pittsburgh".
