Another Error
Although this photo is labeled Glenn Burgess, it is actually Louis Rightmire. See comments. Henry wrote to correct the record and give us some background on Louis. Thank you!
This one is actually Louis Rightmire who went by Louie to his friend. It's misidentified in the recent directory. Look for my tribute to Louie in the upcoming Autumn issue of Physique Pictorial. Louie was killed in the Korean War, - which Mizer did not know about. Otherwise, I suspect he would be very well known. He also posed for Lyle Frisby and Denny Denfield.
Thank you for your input, Henry. I didn't know you were involved with the BMF. That's great! I cannot believe how many errors were in this publication.
It's really easy to understand. There are so many models, and a lot have similar looks. When a model like Louie never really got widely published, and I suspect his name isn't even on the catalog page. My tribute to him is my first project directly with BMF, but I have been working with Reed Massengill for quite some time now, and hope to do more with the foundation.
