He has a white beard. <br><br>Bill tells me that my white beard makes me look old. Well.....I am old. Your Mom said your beard makes you look old. Well.....you are REALLY OLD now. Happy birthday dear friend! 69 years old. Now that is something to celebrate. Look at how many people you have outlived. Not only personal friends and relatives but famous people like JFK, Elvis, James Dean and Buddy Holly (you weren't expecting Buddy in that panalopy of famous people were you?)<br><br>Like you, I notice that I get NOTICED when I have a beard. Without a beard I'm just another faceless non entity in the crowd. <br><br>I'm also growing my beard because my face is starting to sag. The beard covers it up nicely. Plus, when I color my beard it highlights my deep blue eyes, one of my best features. <br><br>Good to have you back Lar!<br><br>Your friend of 65 plus years (how many is it exactly anyway?).<br><br>RonRon Tiptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671297494867817437.post-85623271343463390092010-07-01T13:29:53.895-04:002010-07-01T13:29:53.895-04:00We met in Miss Ezra's third grade class at Eas...We met in Miss Ezra's third grade class at East Ward.
