Me: Past and present

I decided to treat you today.

I worked on my college paper, the Purdue Exponent, in the early 1980s and here are a couple of pictures showing me back then. In the top picture, I am on the railing on the left (and the only black guy in the picture). In the middle picture I am at a desk apparently working on a story. I also edited the AP wire for national and international stories. Both of those pictures were apparently taken before I could afford a comb or a haircut.

The bottom picture is how I look today -- a lot less hair and with gray. But it's combed.

I'm planning a couple of interesting posts for next week. Stay tuned.

Thanks for reading.
