Please help identify if this picture contains the founder of Motorola and if this is a stereo photo? My grandfather was his room mate.

I've looked at several photos of Paul Galvin and must say, without a doubt, unknown. Because of the age difference in the photos, and that your photo is a side view and the internet photos are all face shots, not sure if anyone could say for sure. ears, eyes, and hair style are all valuable indicators, but in this case not enough info is clear.
That’s a really interesting piece of history about Yale and the early Motorola connection. Paul Galvin’s transition from battery eliminators to car radios really changed how people connected with technology back then. It’s fascinating to see how innovation from that era still influences modern design and style — even in things like men’s grooming and self-expression today.
