Sanford "Sandy" Alcorn by Dave Martin







I posted a couple of pics of "All-American" Sandy last year by Rip Searby, nice musclemag-type shots -- here's a more personal view!

Dave Martin is known for shooting his models in the nude just about 99 44/100% of the time, and Sandy, a well-known physique model of the 50s, found himself coaxed into stripping down as well. Most of Martin's models were San Francisco-area college students, so it's nice to see his take on some "name" models from time to time!

Always nice to find a slightly more mature specimen at Bruce's studio... (and thanks to Dan for the scan!)

Squanto


I believe this is George Francis "Squanto" Wilson, who played five games of baseball for the Detroit Tigers in 1911, and one game as a member of the Boston Red Sox in 1914.  Doesn't he look a lot like the actor Brendan Fraser?
