PHOTOS

1943-44. With a bashful grin and mounted on my trusty tricycle, I explore our neighborhood in Gainesville.

This is my eight grade photo from the Paxon annual, The Delphian.

Air Force basic training photo, September 1959. They called the new guys "rainbows." I guess it was because we were wearing colorful civilians clothes before they issued us uniforms and a new "cool" hairstyle.
OK, OK... the ears are a family thing. Check out photo of me, my grandfather and my father... all ears!
