I didn't want to hijack the Parris Island thread, so here are before and after pictures of my 'baby' brother. These photos were taken exactly one year apart, to the day!
Sorry they are so large, they are scans of wallet-size photos and I don't know why they came out so big.
High school graduation photo, 1973 - pudgy, baby-faced kid. He despised that curly hair and always wore a hat to cover it. Now, he'd give anything to have it back!
Boot camp graduation photo, 1974 - no more baby face or curls! He came to the airport to meet my sister and me when we flew in for his coming home party after boot camp. We passed him several times while we were looking for him! The brat just stood there, watching us and snickering. Finally, he said "Yo, Clyde!" and I almost fainted. Clyde was/is his nickname for me, came about in the late 60s and has just sort of hung on.
