In the photo ''lunch on a skyscraper'' the man in the middle is my father John Patrick Madden, My Mother had this, and other pictures of my dad's ''windwalking'' profession.

Any idea who the rest of the men on the beam are? My grandfather worked on the building at this time and we believe he may be in the photo.
