If I were you, I'd contact the Eisenhower Presidential Library at eisenhower.library@nara.gov. They should be able to quickly verify if Ike is in the picture.

Since no one is saying it, I will. There is no way in heck that is Ike. Come on!

Wow. Very interesting -- and well told. Thank goodness for Ike's roommate's persuasiveness.

On a side note, my father was in the navy during the Korean Conflict and rode in a blimp photographing Ike's inauguration on Jan 20, 1953. I have a whole series of shots from before, during and after the events of that day.

I also understand why you don't think that picture looks like him. You've got a close up view through these pictures

From young to old, Ike had 'free' earlobes, not attached ones. The guy in the photo clearly has attached earlobes...plus, he doesn't look anything like him!!!!!!!!!

Considering it was several football items from the estate of Cadet Newgarden who was a member of the Cullum Hall (JV) Football team with Cadet Eisenhower and he had several items featuring Eisenhower's name......it was worthwhile to ask.

I am being snarky because it is beyond self-evident that it is not Ike, yet people come on here and readily say it's him. Just like in every other thread where people are trying to identify people in old photographs. 99.9999999999999% of the posters just throw out such ridiculously wrong answers and others chime in, "Yup, you're right." It's like the part of their brain that is able to distinguish the differences in two dissimilar shapes is not present. It gets tiring!!!

Holier than thou??? WHat the hell are you talking about. You're the one who keeps taking shots at me. And yes, it is beyond self-evident that that picture is not Ike. It is ridiculous to claim that it is. When I first saw the title of this thread, I looked in to see what was going on. Turns out one of the guys in the photo was supposed to be Eisenhower. In looking at the pic, I had no clue whatsoever which of these people anyone could possibly claim is Ike. Then the person you're talking about is pointed out and a high-res enlargement is provided and it jumps off the page that IT IS NOT HIM.
But, hey, look! I found a pic of Abraham Lincoln… th.jpg

If anyone would like to get in touch with someone that is at the Presidential library let me know. One of my Best Marine Corps buddies is a tech there.

Looking at pics of Ike online, you can see that, even as an infant, he had hanging earlobes. The person in your photo clearly does not. I didn't think I'd be writing about Ike's earlobes today, but I've written about weirder things.

Looks like I posted about the earlobes after someone else already did. Missed that. Sorry.

My apologies if people found my responses to be 'not nice.' I get frustrated easily in these types of threads, because as I said previously, it just happens time and time and time again. Next time, I will take a nice, deep, calming breath before replying, because I only contribute to these threads to help whomever is posting them.
