A little levity from the past

Former makeup man Bill Fenton sent us this old photo a while
back. Those were the good ole days in the old PD building when hijinks were commonplace. Why Lustig was playing Superman is unknown, but not surprising. Several in the photo are deceased, including Lustig. If you know of others, please comment.

Man of Steel in PD Sports Department:

Seated on left, front to back: Ernie Rocco, Winfield Leathers, Bob Dolgan.

In the slot: George Peters, behind him is Gene Hersh on right and Chuck Webster. (now a lawyer/politician in Lake County)

Seated behind "Superman" (Dennis Lustig) is copy boy Sheldon Rubenstein.

Picture was taken about 1971, either by Dick Conway or Ray Matjasic, but I'm guessing on both counts.

Hi Margie and Rosie,

I'm wondering if you know the whereabouts, or how to contact someone in this photo "A little Levity from the Past," specifcally Gene Hersh—or his heir(s) if deceased. i appreciate any information.

Thanks!
