Not sure how long Dad sported that look! I can tell you, I did not like the hairy face-so it was usually grown only during hunting season. I believe the photo was taken just before he shaved it off, proving that he really did miss my kisses and snuggles after all. He would always shave it off in intervals - ending his good-bye with either a mustache or a gotee before it all came off. This would sometimes take a few days. He likes to tell the story now that when he got down to the mustache - people at work commented - "Hey, look, Ted's growing a mustache." not even noticing the beard was gone. That made me think that no one else liked his beard either! I think it is funny that all you Butler guys hold on to chin hair now. Dad acutally looks distinguished and wise. Obviously the withdrawl of kisses and snuggles is no longer a big deal to him! But - he looks great!~Mom
My Dad liked photography as a hobby and his family made for interesting subjects to capture on film or should I say slides.
There aren't many pictures with him in them so I titled this blog "What my Dad saw".
The rear view mirror header I think summes it up well. I remember Dad saying "I am gonna take a picture of what I see every time I look in the mirror".
This is my families history, thanks for coming and enjoy.
