I came across these two old pictures of me, from a college party circa 1981:





I remembered the "Show us your picture" thread,and thought of a twist to it. I don't know if it eventually devolved into this (I hope not), but I thought it might be interesting to see how we all looked back in college or high school days. So, here's my high school graduation picture, from 1978:



Anyone else?

Self portrait (when I still had hair).



My first band set up (note the Hammond:-)



Enjoying the deep blue sea (I was a professional offshore lobsterman, a loooong time ago)..


Taking aim at a forum member who got out of line (yes, that's me with the rifle) ...




Remember, if you need a way/place to upload pictures, you can use this...

you have beautiful lips Dwain, and beautiful hair
if I'd known you then I'd be walking on air

Dwain I'm SHOCKED! A future elder in the Presbytarian Church running around with a shirt that says INSANE!

Calvin would NOT approve!

Augustine would, though.

Frank,
You haven't changed a bit.

Thanks Phlebas, I'll pay you later:-)

This is Improv in 1971 at age 18 - from his college ID:



And around 1974 at age 21:



Plays in 1974:

Oh, no fair!

I can't show you my old pics because I was a late bloomer!

Cindy, for you we'll accept a "late" picture.

Well here goes I have discovered that my scanner is not that great at scanning in old photos but here are a couple

Me at about 18 or 19:


Me with my oldest


Both of these are mid 20's post divorce



Here is Mr CathyS about same time frame I couldn't find an old pic where his face wasn't in a shadow; I think he must have had that planned.


Finally my oldest son today -



CathyS

Plays.....at the risk of stepping on Tom*k's toes......

Hey, Tomk can't have all the girls....

....jf.....I would hate to get old and wrinkled if I looked that good when I was young. Here's to average looks!! (raises a toast). I imagine it would feel like Michael Jordan when he can no longer dunk!!


for the more sensitive readers, please don't take this seriously and go on any beauty is skin deep etc rants

Hmmmph! I'm not sure if that was a compliment or an insult. Hey, I think I look better now with a little character and wisdom etched into my face from all these many years of life experiences.

Taken last year at 52:

Wow, kathyk, we could be clones! If your hair were lighter, you'd be me. I think I even had that bathing suit!

The embarrassing thing is I still have the same hairstyle, more or less...

I think I would wonder about that one too Plays you are as beautiful today as you were then

Wow! You have the exact same look on your face...hmmm

Plays.....oops....didn't mean YOU were old and wrinkled, although I hope you do live long enough to have to pull your eyelids off your cheeks Just talking about aging general.

Plays...looks good then and now!

Cathy,

I just happen to agree with you 110%.

As a matter of fact, give me a 50 something woman over a 20/30 something woman any day. I love the maturity and wisdom that is in these woman. She's a *keeper*.

Would you get the same with two 25 yr. olds?

Improv,

I hope this means you're not mad at me for posting those pictures of you?

I apologize to tcmod for having a "sensitive moment." Very unbecoming of me.

Dwain, I'm sorry about what happened to your thread. Somebody PLEASE post your picture and get it moving along!

And thank you, Cathy!



Plays, just a little mortified...

Plays.....really just trying to pay you a compliment. I promise.

Wow, what a suck-up. You must really want something....

jf

Nina, no wonder I liked you from the start (and all this time I thought it was the ear of corn). KathyK is still every bit the bathing beauty today!

jf

JF, a while back you said you'd post some old photos of yourself. Now is as good a time as ever! (hint hint)

I love picture threads

Gotta find it. I will look tonight. For some reason I don't have many between the agres of 15 and 40!

jf

Just trying to get Plays to *watch a movie* with me.
