GALLERY SPECIAL!
RONNIE GROSSO
We welcome as our Cover Man and featured model in this issue young RONNIE GROSSO who hails from New Jersey. RONNIE came to the OLYM-PIA studios by way of introduc-tion through JOHNNY KEM-PER, America’s most popular young model. Johnny phoned LON, the OLYMPIA photogra-pher, and tod him of a friend he felt would make a good model. We were most pleased in meeting this handsome young fellow, for we found RONNIE be personable and intelligent as well as physically perfect.
Although these photos in the gallery here were only taken
s a trial set we felt that the results justify our using them hat others may appreciate the degree of perfection attained by mis rising Star model. RONNIE is very busy with his work and amily and thus does not have the time to work out as much as e would like to but we are hoping to have him pose again nd will then be able to bring more studies of this great young model.
Congratulations RONNIE GROSSO! You have the mark f greatness.
