Homage

I don't know how old I am in these first photos, I can assume under one year old.
Which would make Dad 25 and George 64(?) here. I don't think that math is right but you get the idea.
Since we had Jack I had been wanting to "recreate" this photos, which of course would be difficult as I am 7 years older than Dad in the photo and ten times better looking. Kidding.
But we did get the pics, they were the first 'orange' photos that were taken last Sunday before Joel and Josh showed up and got into the act.
You can see that Dad is wearing a collared shirt in these photos, a shirt that he later gave to Joel for the sake of continuity. He literally gave him the shirt off his back.




6'0"? Unlikely, either I am more gigantic than I think or my father is slowly shrinking.
(edit:"In 1970 at Fort Detroit I measured 6' according to the US Government (my draft physical exam). I have shrunk(aging) plus you stood up straight. You must be 6' 3". I look taller than my father, but it must be the angle of the shot, although he shrunk, too." FMVSr.)

It's amazing how much happier dad looks in the pictures of you, Jack, and him.

You are definitely 6'3" when you don't slouch.
