CLASSIC GASPORT PHOTO IN CNN ARTICLE

Yesterday on its opinion page CNN posted an article by Amitai Etzioni regarding the need to "talk back to your doctor." Accompanying the article is a slideshow entitled "appointments in the old days." Click on slide #5, the caption of which reads "A teenage boy is vaccinated against smallpox by a doctor and a county health nurse in Gasport, New York, in 1938."

I'm curious....does anyone recognize this fellow?

The article can be read here:

Editor's Note (15 June 2012): A reader emailed me to say the young man in the photo may be Arnold Hess.
