He was born in '58. Still alive and kicking. He survived pancreatic cancer in 2001 and is looking forward to retirement next year.

That wasn’t HS, that was skipping school. Drinking a Tab! The first Totally Artificial Beverage, aka diet soda.

Wow that's amazing, he certainly beat the odds! He's got a few years on me (1963), wishing your dad a very happy retirement!

Where was this taken? I could swear I know that dude.
notfoursaken OP t1_iu2vxeo wrote
Not sure where. He's from Burna, KY. It could be from nearby or on a road trip to Los Angeles. My grandma and her folks moved out there during the depression and then came back to the old homestead a decade or so after the war.

I rocked a feathered mullet deep into 80’s. I also might have let it linger into the early 90’s
