Triibeard - congratulations on your 39 years minus 1 day anniversary! I'm impressed (and a little jealous) that you've kept a beard for so long. What was your beard color back then, same color as your hair? We must be about the same age since I was starting my senior year in college in 1976. I grew my first beard a couple years after college and kept it for a couple years. It was dark brown (as was my hair then). Wish now that I had done as you did ... BobĀ
