Thomas J. VanderPutten"Beard No. 5 Looks Something Like This""When [Joan and I] 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 |
