However, he did make one other appearance: as an uncredited print model in the January 1986 issue.  The photograph was one of several illustrating an article by Ed Subitzky and Karen Dale Boss, “The  Modern Woman’s Guide to Time-Efficient Sex Planning and Management.”   Since this was a pictorial on sex in the workplace, it is, by definition, not safe for work; so I’ve placed it on another page.  It shows John in a way that may be unfamiliar to some of his readers.
