Thomas J. VanderPutten "Beard No. 5 Looks Something Like This" "When we got married I was fresh out of the Air Force -- no beard. Soon after we married I grew my first. When asked to be part of [Dick and Peggy's] wedding party, I asked Peggy if she wanted her wedding album full of some usher with face fuzz. She graciously said she'd prefer clean shaven ushers. After Jeanie took a few pix for posterity I was as smooth as a babies but. I graduated NYIT w/ fuzz a few years later. I think I'm working on my fifth one now." Thomas VanderPutten |

Portrait at Two My cousin Thomas J. VanderPutten, Aunt Ruth's and my late Uncle Bert's son. Tom is the father of Christine, Michael, twins Bryan & Joy, and Victoria. At least two are said to be devoted Yankee fans like their father. Tom's cousin-in-law Charles (Duda) Balta recently "discovered a new planet in the solar system." |
