Don Kuzio (the young man featured in the portratit) works with computers at Art Institute of Chicago and did not respond to attempts to contact him for further information.
Artist Betty Hahn, friend of Noggle's, speculates that it is Kuzio posing with Noggle in her photograph Homage to Meatyard. See 2016.

Don Kuzio was Noggle's student at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.  According to Noggle's friend, artist Betty Hahn, Kuzio lived at Noggle's house for 11 years, (1987-1998), and worked as her assistant. Hahn speculates that it is Kuzio posing with Noggle in her photograph Homage to Meatyard.

In conversation with curator Katherine Ware on 6/10/2016, Noggle's longtime friend and assistant Jim Holbrook confirmed that Kuzio lived at Noggle's house in Albuquerque for many years. He later moved to Chicago and is now known as Morgan Kuzio.
