The Banner

Me circa 1971

I found this old photo at my mothers home, now my house in Ohio although I still live in Colorado. While it is hard to see my scrggly beard in the photo I still wear one today. (much better looking beard today, I hope). The picture was take either by my sister or by my friend Jerry, not sure anymore.

The lamp in the background was hand made my myself for my mother, it is solid Walnut, I have it in my living room today, it has held up over the 40 some years better than I have. :)

I've got the blues...
