If you were wondering whatever happened to Johnny Lattner, the 1953 Heisman Trophy winner who owned a popular restaurant at Marina City in the late 1960s and early 1970s, worry no more. He is 76 years young, an executive with a printing company just west of Chicago, and he was our guest last week at his old restaurant, now known as Dick’s Last Resort.

MCO is working on an article based on his amazing recollections, but for now we have a photo of Lattner (right) and Dick’s General Manager Richard Fulghum. (Click on image to view larger version.)
