The following is my recollection from around circa 63-67.

Walter Jacobs.......5' 9 13/16". 154 lbs. Hair was processed and  
combed over to one side similar to Sammy Davis Jr. A good looking man  
when younger, he was starting to show some age. His face was long and  
gaunt. He had prominent eyebrow bone structure, a (comparatively)  
long thin nose, and his skin tone was roughly equiv. to Hershey's dry  
cocoa mix. In the 3 times I saw him, I don't think he ever smiled.

James Cotton.......same height, but 202 lbs. His hair was au  
naturale. A robust man, his face was full, round and friendly, and  
his skin tone was closer to Nestle's Quick OR maybe even as light as  
Cafe Au-Lait. Jimmy HAS freckles. In the 3 times I saw him he never  
QUIT smiling.

I hope that this helps pick them out one from another.
