Is there a way to align text with an item on the facing page?

I'm typesetting author biographies for a book and I'm doing two per page. The 
author's name appears on a line of its own in \tfa size and then the bio text 
follows. Ideally I'd like their names aligned so that all four (on a two page 
spread) appear nicely symmetrical.

Currently I'm using \godown[\dimexpr80mm-\pagetotal] (for A5 pages) between 
each pair which works nicely in that if the first biography is too long it 
overlaps and I know to edit it to be shorter.

However, if the second biography is a little long, it pushes the first back up 
the page a little - maybe only one line - and then it no longer aligns with the 
the one on the facing page. If I could somehow tell ConTeXt to vertically align 
the author names then that might do the job?

I've tried using two frames above each other with fixed min and maxheight but 
then I can't get the author's thumbnail picture to place properly and have the 
text wrap around it.

Any thoughts?
