The apple doesn't fall too far away from the tree (3 generations) (Read 455 times)

    On Tuesday I posted some pictures from the weekend and many of you commented on how DS looks a lot like me.  "Minus the hair of course" was one quote I remember.

     

    So I did some digging and found this "gem" from my past.  This was when I was about 21 or 22; the same age DS is now.  This was taken at MSU and the Men's Glee Club had just finished performing - thus the nice Tux I'm wearing.  That's my Dad - DS's Grand Dad - on the right.  All of us are clones of each other.  The 2nd picture is from this past weekend for comparison.  Nice hair 35 years ago and 35 years later!

     

    Enjoy!  Bill

      Fantastic. Especially your bowtie.

       

       

      I didn't know cameras had been around that long.

        Great pictures!  I've also heard the saying as "the nut doesn't fall far from the tree" 

        I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

          It's very uncanny how much the three of you look like each other.  It's like those age progression photos!

            These are great! As soon as I saw your DS I said OMG that looks just like Byll!! Too funny.

              Holy cow! The only way to tell DS and you (35 years ago) apart is to look at which side each of you part your hair on (and, of course, the bow tie and ruffled shirt...)! Great shots.

              Trails are hard!

                I opened up the thread and thought "Byll did a little aging on one of the weekends pictures"    pretty amazing!!

                Need a fast half for late fall.  Then I need to actually train for it.

                  byll - great pix.  It's amazing how much you look alike, although I'm more interested in the building in the background.  Can't quite recognize it from my days at MSU.

                    JTV, I believe that is Auditorium Building, though i could be mis-remembering.

                     

                    CoastWalker, when I showed that old picture to my DW, she commented the "If Grandpa was clipped out of that photo she would have thought that was Robbie (DS)".

                      thanks for taking the time to dig those out and post them. That is quite the uncanny resemblance!

                        Great pictures, Byll!  I love seeing family resemblances like this.

                        Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

                          Incredible!  You should send those to a newspaper or something.

                          "During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

                            Look at what Photoshop can do!
