It was probably Dick Teague's son.
Here is a little fun fact about Dick Teague.. He was a cross-dresser as a child. LOL! From Wickepedia: Teague's mother worked in the motion picture industry during the silent movie era.[3] At five years of age Teague appeared in five episodes of Our Gang, playing the role of Dixie Duval, a girl.[4] When he was six, he was seriously injured in a car accident near Pasadena, California, which was caused by a drunk driver. He lost several teeth, suffered a broken jaw, as well as sight in his right eye (leaving him without depth perception or stereoscopic vision), while his mother was left an invalid.[3][5] A year later his father was killed in another automobile accident, also caused by a drunk driver.[6] While attending grade school in Los Angeles during the 1930s, Teague built model airplanes before turning to hot rods, since his schoolmates included Ed Iskendarian (who became a drag racer), and land speed racer Stuart Hilborn, as well as other car enthusiasts.[5][7] He participated in time trials on a dry lake northeast of Los Angeles and was fond of saying that he "had a little gasoline in his blood."[5] Teague was exempt from service in the armed forces during World War II because of his visual impairment.[4] After graduating from Susan Miller Dorsey High School in 1942, he worked as an aircraft technical illustrator for Northrop Corporation.[5] His boss, Paul Browne, was a former designer at General Motors who suggested that Teague take night classes at the ArtCenter College of Design. ![]() https://www.motorcities.org/story-of...enaissance-man |

If I had to take a guess, the cider mill where the pic was taken is in Franklin Village which would have been less than 5 minutes from his house.
