It is cool to toss your head to the side to sweep them out of your field of vision. Shall we add Rogaine to your Christmas wish list? Grow your bangs while you are at it!

Fortunatly their sister,Wendy, has been spared the metamorphasis. It is sort of that Charles Bronson meets Lee Majors (The SIx Million Dollar Man) look. I think Terry may have sported it when he was a bartender in Florida. Mason,please take note and be carefull! The "look" will be hot again but it may take another 50 years for it to cycle back. Kris, you had better hurry, your window of opportunity is beginning to close. 70's retro is all ready on the decline! You need a major stache, side burns and aviator glasses.

That makes you guys, how shall I put this...experienced. And thanks for sending the logo which now properly decorates the top of this post. I might have some pictures of my Dad sporting that same huge 'stache, shag hair, and thick glasses. hmmm....I wonder who he got his style from.

Grandma Esther made the purchases at the now long defunct Seneca Mall in Buffalo. Where else at this point in time could you find a store as hip as Leo's. The time period was 1969. The four boxes were for her 3 boys and her one adopted exchange student from Thailand Mathee. Inside of these boxes were treasures that today would be sure to bring more on E-bay than the boxes. They were shirts that would make us all look like colleagues of Kirk and Mr. Spock from the Star Ship Enterprise. I know that somewhere in photo albums these shirts exist as the final frontier. I remember that Mathee bore a striking resemblance to Sulu in his shirt. Live Long and Prosper. Terry Kris:
