Edging Eighty: "Don't let the old man in" or leave the boy behind

Clint Eastwood:    "Every day when I wake up, I don't let the old man in. My secret has been the same since 1959: staying busy. I never let the old man into the house. I've had to drag him out because he was already comfortably settled, bothering me all the time, leaving no space for anything other than nostalgia. You have to stay active, alive, happy, strong, and capable. It's in us, in our intelligence, attitude, and mentality. We are young, regardless of our ID.

Any reader info on Eastwood, Cousy, Heinsohn, Ramsey photo? - "Do you feel lucky?"

Seeing the photo below for the first time, I did some research on its origin - and fouled out completely. Clint Eastwood with 60's Celtics Tom Heinsohn, Frank Ramsey and Bob Cousy was too interesting to let go. Anyone have any info, or at least ideas on the photo?

If you have info, let us know. Do You Feel Lucky, Punk? https://t.co/oQ4aqQelh5 via @YouTube — Tom Lane (@CelticsSentinel) August 16, 2019 Follow Tom at @CelticsSentinel and @_Celtics_Center
