The Passing Of Larry Cherokee Hershman
Larry Hershman (1945-2016)
Cherokee was a friend of Ron Launius. Larry straightened out his life, eventually becoming a truck driver. He had a large family and I’m sure he is missed.
RIP Cherokee!

This is ‘Cherokee” aka Larry Hershman’s daughter. Yes he is terribly missed and There are a few things he hasn’t discussed with us children and this is one of those. I know nothing changes the passed but my father was a great man.

Here’s a link to Cherokee’s page at Find-A-Grave.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/176624804/larry-martin-hershman
We should probably set up a “virtual Cemetary” directory there where it is easier to find the grave sites of the Wonderland figures. Ronnie Launius, Joy Milller, Billy Deverell, Tracy McCourt, David Lind, Johnny Wadd, Gregory Diles and Barbara Richardson (as Barbara Easton) all have pages there where people can reflect and pay their respects. No grave site is noted for Diles, however. I wonder where it was buried?
Cherokee did pretty good. Not everybody sees themselves portrayed on the silver screen, and he came off as a fun guy during his brief scene in Wonderland 1. A good counterbalance to the ferocity of Ronnie Launius, determination of Eddie Nash, and the desperation of John Holmes.

Nobody knows, but her “friend” keeps lashing out at me though.

Great find as always! Many have tried but know one has been able to out live Eddie.. I think Susan is the last known contender! An interview with Cherokee would have been a nice addition to your book, I’m sure he had plenty of Ron Launius stories. Glad to see you post here again. I was getting worried, thought something happened to you.

I hear that when the President saw Susan there, he commented “If I had a son, he would have looked like Gregory Diles”.
