Who are these guys?




Found in an old file drawer, this photo taken by Frank Reed, on July 29, 1977 when they held a party for the closing of the old jail at Cleveland Central Police State at 2007 Payne Ave. Lots of PDers served at the police beat through the years. A bunch attended the party. It looks like Don Bean (white shirt) is aghast at something Dennis Kuchinich (suit) said. Was he the mayor at the time? That's the late Bill Miller to the left of Dennis. Johnny Reese, the late PD assistant city editor is to the right of Dennis. We also see Tom Quinn in those lovely plaid pants. Smiling behind Bill Miller is Andy Juniewicz, left, and John Coyne, right.

If you can identify others in the photo, please send us a note.

Bill Fenton sez "guy on the extreme right and front in black shirt is Henry (Hank) T. Jacques.
He graduated BG 1957 or '58 and was a reporter at PD. He left about the time I got there ('66). I vaguely recall he went to Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Medical Mutual and possibly bounced into government after that. I knew him from my BG News days."

Dennis was mayor at the time. And that guy with the mustache behind Johnny Reed is Don Sabath.

Just saw the blown-up version of the pic.
Looks like John Coyne, wearing wired-framed glasses on the right, behind W.F.
And possibly Bob Dolgan up against the wall on the far left with his head towering over everyone else.
Now sure if that's Jack Hagan cleeeear in the back of the room on the right.

I'm seeing something different from what Steve is seeing:

Recognizable (but previously unidentified) faces from the left are Gary Diedrichs, Jim Cox, John Tidyman, Tom Gerdel, Steve Hatch, Jerry Kvet, Hil Black (not Don Sabath), John Saccany, and maybe way WAY in the back, McGruder left and W. Joseph Campbell right.

I have the same photo on a shelf in my office.
