My first thought was also GG but then I noticed the bit about 
spectacles and wondered how long have spectacles been around?  I 
found this online:
"The first mention of actual glasses is found in a 1289 manuscript 
when a member of the Popozo family wrote: "I am so debilitated by 
age that without the glasses known as spectacles, I would no longer 
be able to read or write." In 1306, a monk of Pisa mentioned in a 
sermon: "It is not yet 20 years since the art of making spectacles, 
one of the most useful arts on earth, was discovered." But nobody 
mentioned the inventor... except those who claimed to have invented 
it, putting the time to around 1285 (although some sources claim the 
date to be 1269)." (www.didyouknow.cd/spectacles.htm)

So unless this is a case of time turning (let's hope not), I'm not 
quite sure.  The Founders were 1000 years ago from 1992 (or 
thereabouts).  

Just thought I'd muddy the water,
