So when I made my first visit to SF in 1967, I hoped to see it, but it was gone. Danny-Darko and + azdr0710 1 1

Whitman Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Great shot of Gilbert Roland (above), @Danny-Darko. I don't think I've seen that one before. He was a real beauty for a long while. Here are two more images of him that I like. Pretty sure at least the one by the pool has been posted on the forum before. + bashful, Danny-Darko, thomas and 1 other 3 1

I usually like posting some bio or information on what is known, but in this case, I found the picture with no information and thought he was a very elegant gentleman. Thanks again for enlightening us on who he was. Whitman and + Charlie 2
