My dear departed uncle, Ken Kiesler, aka The Great Va Va Voom, became an Internet meme, because of this picture -- along with my great-great grandfather on my mother's side. His last name was Schecter.

Ken was fun to be around. When I showed him Dancing Hamsters, he feigned confusion. He would have loved the idea that this picture made him famous, even though people had no idea who he actually was.
