Here's a pic of an acquaintance from school and was once a neighbor. In school he went by the name Eugene.
BTW, if anyone ever comes across the somewhat renown Time (or Life?) photo of Eugene riding on top of a military tank along with other soldiers, please let me know. In the photo, Eugene is lying wounded and is being given plasma from a raised bottle held by another soldier. The soldiers on the tank are not named in the photo. Some of us have been looking for that photo for many years.

If anyone is ever interested, I found that picture I have been seeking. Of all places, it was found in an old book at a local estate sale. The picture was published in an individual Life magazine but I found it in a volume called The Best of Life Subscriber's Special Edition, published in 1973 by Time, Inc. I attach a picture of the volume in case anyone is interested. I won't post the actual picture of Eugene on the tank as it may be overly graphic for any family members who happen across this post.
