history and geography nut that I am, I had to look this address up on Google Maps and Street View and see if it's still around....I believe that now-widened driveway (remember when driveways were two separate strips of narrow concrete!) is the same one as in this current view and Memphis Ave is in the background of the old picture.....I hope Paul and Len lived/are living a long life as proud Buckeyes......safe link:

USS California Wrestling Team 1921-22 when the battleship (commissioned in August 1921) was new. Some later history (of the ship, not the men): On December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, the California was hit during the Japanese attack and eventually sank. She was raised in April 1942 and returned to service in 1944.

BENNETT SURF* AND JIM BURKE IN THE PAT ROCCO FILM LOOP "WANTED" (1969)

* I'm just guessing, but surely the name "Bennett Surf" was inspired by Random House publisher and What's My Line panelist Bennett Cerf (1898-1971), who also inspired the Sesame Street puppet Bennett Snerf.

[Whitman]

BENNETT CERF IN 1932, THE YEAR BEFORE HE WON UNITED STATES v. ONE BOOK NAMED ULYSSES, A LANDMARK COURT CASE AGAINST GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP. CERF THEN BECAME THE FIRST IN THE U.S. TO PUBLISH ULYSSES IN UNABRIDGED FORM. THE PHOTOGRAPH IS BY CARL VAN VECHTEN.
