I can see old Shanti Bhavan stalwarts, Dr Peter Iveson (spell?), ex-BK Louis Cennamo (once considered to be one of "the greatest electric bass player in the world" and creator of the electric bowed bass guitar, until he got involved with the Brahma Kumaris). The black guy might be the nervous, and once marginalised now ex-BK, Wesley. Are those the "two Joys", the elder of whom "Values Administrator" Joy Rendell, at least, is still heavily involved. Is that one of the two Simons on the far left, the dark and "funny" one? The front row are all still in the Brahma Kumaris first team, looks like; Maureen Goodman, Waddy (Veronica McHugh), Janki, Sudesh etc. Who is the tall white guy at the back?

This relates to recent events where at a public meeting Dadi Janki Kripalani claimed not to know or remember one of the most outstanding (but now ex) early Western BKs.
As I understand it, one was left confused as to whether this was a deliberate ploy to humiliate the individual who had made a sincere effort to come and meet her, or whether she is losing her mind. The latter case is possible for a 92 year old ... but then it would still be strange to note the very subjective nature of her memory that functions very, very well indeed when it comes to individuals with money, property and so on that would be useful to the movement (in my opinion).
What was happening at that time above? If you don't want to mention names, that is fine, you must remember the event?
