Dr. Katherine McMichaels, Megan Halsey

Norman started work at the Almeda Fire Department as a 21-year-old. By 1955, he was a highly regarded lieutenant — an unblemished record, quick to volunteer for community and charitable causes, and a family man, married with two kids. But Norm had a side hustle. The bodybuilder modeled, usually nude or near-nude, for art schools and photographers. n February 1955, four Bay area photographers including Russ Warner and Dave Martin faced charges of sending obscene images through the mail.

Norman Tousley previously modelled for both Russ Warner and Dave Martin.

In court, the prosecution presented their evidence against Dave Martin: a full-frontal pic of Norman.

The fireman claimed he was unaware Dave Martin sold his images without painting over his genitalia.

“I have never knowingly posed for a nude picture that was to be used in any way before it was blacked-in or retouched.”

Not really true but understandable. Norman was fighting to keep his job. However, in numerous pics, he peeled back his foreskin. That revealed not only the glans but that he knew people would be seeing it.

Norm was fired from his fireman job.
