We now know who the guy behind Suzuki is.  Alan Winter solved it for us.
10-21-14 - John Nelson, the USF Buddhism etc prof whose Bali blog was featured yesterday wants to know who that is to the left of Shunryu Suzuki in this photo and also I'd like to know who that is behind him. I keep thinking his name is Larry. The SFZC has used this photo numerous times through the years. It's SR0120 on shunryusuzuki.com. So many people have asked who that guy is.

1-28-2020 - Yahudah Alan Winter writes: Was drawn to a book while visiting a friend in Eugene. Hippie Chick by Ilene English. On page 163 she has this photo and identifies the man next to Roshi as Lenny who she eventually married.  I contacted her and she said his name is Larry Whitney and he recently had his 80th birthday and now lives in Ashland, Oregon.

Alan also thought he recognized the woman behind Whitney. There are four photos in this series. She's in the second one real clear Emma Bragdon. It's SR0118

That's Tony Johannson on the left.. He's in SR0117 and SR0119 too.
