OK guys, before you start laughing too hard; yes, these are pictures of me. Now go ahead and laugh all you want. I have no idea when this first picture was taken, but I believe it was from when we lived at the beach in Venice, California. This is probably about two miles from where Marina Del Rey is located now, but the marina wasn't there then.

This picture was taken at my graduation from Mark Twain Junior High School. I'm going to have to guesstimate the date, it was probably around June of 1956 which would have made me about 14 years old. It must be pretty close since I was 17 when I graduated from Venice High School. Who would have thought that this skinny little kid would have turned into the guy that we have all grown to love and admire over the years.

The picture to the right is the most recent one of me. This was taken December, 1997. As you can see, my spending most of the time at the resort town of Pattaya Beach, has caused my hair to turn blond. I guess that's what happens when you spend a lot of time out in the sun. Well, maybe it doesn't look like blond to you, but colors are often not seen the same to everybody. Occasionally this shade of blond is quite incorrectly referred to as gray or white.
