Post a picture of yourself

After rummaging around in some old photos, I found one of my grandfather that was almost identical to one my wife took of me (pre-beard and -10 pounds).

Serious likeness, uncanny.

I agree! He must have loved watching you grow up. :586:
Thanks! He passed a few years ago, after a very, very long and frustrating battle with Alzheimer's. I wish he would have been able to see how photography (and all technology) evolved. He loved technology as he grew up, working Morse Code in WWII, and then working at an Air Force base until retirement.

I remember when I tried to show him how to play Solitaire on the computer, he told me that the little arrow was showing me what to do. He didn't know that the arrow was me moving the mouse. :smile:

He sounds like an interesting guy! I bet he had some great stories to tell.

Love that tidbit about watching that *arrow!* :)
 
Here's one from when I was in the Navy.
The me giving my reassuring "We got this!" face.
