This is the back row of Linotypes. Can't identify the operator. We watched from the windows
behind the Linos as the sky get red with fires during the Watts riots
I recognize both of these operators, just can't put a name on them. Is that Don Usery in the foreground?
Recognize both of these operators also, but can't remember their names. Is that Gilbert Faustina in foreground?
Assembly bank. Ned Lurie and maybe that is Earl Cole
Linotype operators. On the left is Brian Stevens, behind him in the middle is Austin Reinitz,
and in the foreground I think is Worth Davis
