Just curious if anyone read my post (#10)..........

I read it Phil. I just think the info is all there...and I do think there is resemblance...the facial shape is the same, can't tell anything about the nose and ears, but if you look you can see that the circular inner part of the ear matches on the right ear in Mark's photo of him with the circular inner part of the ear on the left ear in the postcard...the amount of space from nose to lip is the same. There doesn't seem to be many photos of Wilkinson out there so you can't find anything that has the same angle which you need to do a good facial recognition comparison.

Also no one has come up with any links to anything about anyone else ever managing the Hopkins lady team other than Wilkinson.

I very much did read it. That's exacly why I posted contemporary images of him. Nothing you said accounts for the facial feature differences I pointed out, differences that are not apparent in any other verified image of Wilkinson. Face angle has no relevance here to the mouth comparison, and little for the nose comparison.

In the center image above, Wilkinson's right ear (viewer's left) is seen to have a detached earlobe. For the face in question, which is turned somewhat to the opposite direction, his ear appears to have an attached earlobe - not conclusive given the quality of the image, but not a good sign. While head angle can affect this to some degree, the angle of his ear with respect to his head doesn't appear to match Wilkinson (in young and old man photos). There are just too many little things wrong that add up to it not being him.

What I am saying about the mouth is clarified below:
