"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."

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."
