This photo appeared in the Jewish Light on Mar. 30, 1966. The story “Young Executives in Fund Drive” featured three additional photos of young, well-groomed gents attending a fundraising event at Schieithorst’s West Restaurant. The event featured as the keynote, future NFL Hall of Famer, St. Louis Cardinals defensive back Larry Wilson.
In this photo we see, from left: Walter Stern; Warner Issacs; Richard Fisher, Chairman of the group; Donald Gallop, c0-chairman and Thomas Levin.
