Contributor Bailey has likely spent weeks on these. Today, we share her latest finding: some never-before-seen (on the internet, at least…) pictures of former drummer George Tutuska and bassist Robby Takac during their High School years.
Bailey has done some serious detective work here, as you will see. Apparently she had to dig quite a lot to find these rare pictures of George and Robby while they were attending High School in Buffalo, NY. Let’s hear it directly from her:
These are super cool and I had to search really deep into online libraries etc. to find these, so enjoy….
Robby “Rob Takac” in his 1982 senior portrait for West Seneca East High Senior High School (I have shared this picture before, but it was super low quality. Correction to my self: it was not his freshman photo)
A further shot with a quote from “Baba O’Riley” by the WHO (great song choice, Robby!)
This was Robby (second from the left) with the high school radio station “WESH” 1982 as well. There’s a closer view, and then the whole yearbook page.
This is from George’s high school yearbook photo in 1982. I did the math and he would’ve been a senior that year, but I looked through the whole yearbook and he didn’t show up in any of the senior portraits, so this is the only picture I have. I thought I’d saved a better quality photo of the whole picture (the third one here) but I didn’t. Lucky for you, I saved closer shots! George is literally in the middle of these, and huge surprise! He looks like George!
Fun fact: his high school was called Bishop Timon High School (in Buffalo, NY), and I’m assuming this was a Christian school of some sort, because in a lot of the pictures, the boys are in suits and ties.
Couldn’t find any of Johnny but I will let you know if I do! We’re still missing his Junior and Senior photos, and these guys are missing their freshman, sophomore and junior pictures.
Cheers!
Bailey
