Hello Ron
We have become a nation of PC and over sensitive people, we not longer see things for what they are or take them at face value. Many of us lock for the dark motives behind every word or action. We need to loosen up a bit and start enjoying life.

Bob and I spent a very long Saturday and Sunday driving to Philadelphia and back, helping my oldest daughter move to where she'd decided to start her own life....a little sad for me, but enough for now.... We took advantage of the fact that we had to pass through New Jersey, Bob's home state to have dinner with his daughter Saturday evening and then a nice visit with his Sister on Sunday afternoon before continuing on our way home. She was more than happy to pull out her box of old family photos and share them with me..... First, Bob with hair, lol. Good thing my dad hadn't seen him back then, he'd be upset about the long haired hippy freak...never mind the fact that I think I was maybe 7 when this picture was taken, lol  Now for the cute one, so that he can have a baby picture up too. Bob and his best friend at the time:  It was a lot of fun looking through those old family pictures. Now Bob's dad? He had a nice full head of hair even as he got older......sadly, bob didn't take after him there, lol  I did take a camera with us but not a whole lot of desire to take pictures. I did take one from the truck as we were going down broad street into the heart of Philly...and I'm hoping it came out. Also one of my daughter in front of the truck with all her stuff somewhere on the jersey turnpike. sherri |

Oh my gosh, Sherri! I had no idea Bob was the guy in the song..."all you long-haired freaky people need not apply...." LOL ;D Somewhere I have a picture of myself about 1972 looking strangely like that, too. Now I'll have to dig it up! |

Bobby,
Lil' Bobby with his teddy and then as a long haired cool looking teenager I presume!!!
Love it, love it, love it!!
I am surprised you and Sherry are not still in NJ looking at old photo albums...they can become quite time consuming.
My hair never would get quite as long as you had, but definately a little below the neck line.
Last year, Jeanneatte pulled a pic out of an album that showed me with the long hair, a shirt with a big butterfly, an old style golf cap, a scarf around my neck and smoking...a...joint. Oh the good ol' days when we were younger and carefree.

Ron
yep, as a boy and then as that long-haired teenager--that's me---LOL.
yeah it is funny to look back at what was"in" and what we looked like then.
Hmmm........wouldn't mind having a bit of that hair now....well, actually I do...but it's kinda thin...so I just shave it......
Let the Bald be Bold!

You know the story Bob
God is good at making everything except heads. So many of them turn out poorly that he has had to cover them all with hair. But every so often, he makes one that is so perfect that he just has to show it off.........
Regards - John

Hey guys, I have all my hair, but if I was bald(as is my brother) I would cover it only with a hat when I went out. To me bald is beautifull(just as is naturally greying hair)...and you don't have to get a haircut... ! Was sitting in my den watching the football game last night and during a break glanced up at the pictures on the wall of my family. Was feeling a little down as my mother passed away December 6 last year. My eyes fell on the pic I have posted here and it made me laugh.  My 5 year old mother(to be 15 years later) and her 4 year old cousin playing "adult dressup". The photo was taken in 1925 by her maternal grandfather. As I was the first child, she used to tell me I made her fat. She was rather thin before I came along, but as I would point out to her from her childhood pictures..."No I did not, Mother, you were chubby as a child". And we would laugh. Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI |

My wife found this print, and I scanned it last night. It was probably one of the last ones taken with her Nikon One Touch ( point-and-shoot, anyone?), before it succumbed to that big camera store in the sky, and got replaced by a Canon Digital Elf. The big lummox with my granddaughter is me. It was taken last year, when she was three. Is it any wonder she calls me Grandpa Bear? Certainly have come a long way since those wedding photos!  |

Ron,
That is the cutest...!!!!! You can tell she really loves Grandpa Bear!!! One for the album!!!
One question for you...how come you didn't keep the long sideburns, at least, since you couldn't keep the hair so long?

LOL ;D Actually, Ron, the hair got longer (for a while), and the sideburns morphed into a full beard, that I kept for almost 30 years! I just shaved it back to a goatee about four years ago, when only portions of it turned white (and nothing turned on my head), and I started to look like a skunk! ;D I'm still looking for one of my "long hair" pictures...and will post one when I find it (although I think Bob still might have me beat)! And it was actually my wife that got my granddaughter calling me "Grandpa Bear." When she was even smaller, she didn't want to come to me one afternoon (they live so far away I don't see her often). Anyway, my wife said something to the effect that it was OK and "Grandpa does look like an old bear, doesn't he?" My granddaughter looked very worried and said "Will the bear eat me?" We all had a good laugh, and I've been Grandpa Bear ever since. LOL  |

This picture appeared in the 'Parade Magazine' which is a part of many newspapers her in the United States. Credit is...taken by Robert Noone of Logan, W. VA...he sneaked up behind his parents...Bill, 87, and Dottie, 77, who were walking home after a doctor's visit. Married 62 years when Bill passed away in July, 2005. It captured my heart when I saw it, reminding me so much of my own parents who passed 4 months apart after having been married for the same number of years. They look just like a young couple in 'puppy love'...but one can tell theirs' was a true loving relationship developed over the years. This is what love is really all about!  Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI |
