Way back, go way back before geocaching, all the way back to high school.

Now, let’s see what you looked like!

That's me over there on my Avatar. That photo was taken in 1918 right after I joined the Navy. :rolleyes:

Second year of college...

That was a great cat, Rascal. I had him for 18 years. I would have to warn the vet that he would jump up on their shoulder if they did not watch out.

Here is Keystone, losing badly at a beer pong tournament, circa 1979, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, Bucknell University. Had I known that I'd grow up to be a geocaching forum moderator, I would have just kept drinking. That's me pouring the beer from the tap.

OK, is it more than a little scary that Criminal looked a lot like a guy I dated in high school?

I'll try to dig up pics but it will take a few days to find them and scan them.

March 2, 2004

1981

Criminal and MountainMan looked like the guys I dated, too. I've always had a thing for geeks? :rolleyes:

That top one of Criminal's looks like it could be an album cover for a Hall and Oates-like band. Awesome.

I'd post one, but I don't look much different than I do know, just 10 years older. Same hair, same jeans and Packers t-shirt....

How about this one... My senior ball pic...

While in college in southeastern Ohio I spent some time fighting forest fires.

This picture was taken in November of 1976.

Took some time to track these down, but....

Two from college days (late 70's). I'm second from left in the top one.

And this one is rough to look at. Senior prom (1976). Gotta love those shoes and the David Cassidy haircut!

Sorry about the size. My scanner and Photoshop skills stink.

Did Ben Affleck play you in dazed and Confused?

I will see if I can find the picks of me and my mohawk when I get home.

Briansnat, you a Teke? I was at University of West Florida, Tau-Psi Chapter.

March 2, 2004

One more of me... It's SO 80s that I couldn't resist (legwarmers, headband...). Let's see, circa 1981-2 or so.

This is me on the left in 1974, skiing at Berkshire East, up in Massachussetts. That's my little sister on the right who grew up to be a beautiful, energetic, and smart woman, and survived breast cancer last year. Her first born is now in college. Remember snorkel jackets? They sure were warm.

edited to add the photo, doh!

I asked Mom to find some pics for me. Here they are (gulp).

Senior picture, right before I traded it all in for huge permed hair and contacts.

This was my normal high school pose, and I avoided pictures when possible. The Siamese cat on my lap died not too long ago at the age of 19:

A pic of my brother, my grandfather, me and Morris cat. I would have been around 6th grade here.

Me on my first day of first grade:

Yessiree. New Omega chapter at William Paterson College. That's some of my fraternity brothers in the photo. To this day about half of them are still close friends. Like they say, Teke is forever.

Hey DWM, was there a "If This Van's a Rockin' Don't Bother Knockin'" bumper sticker on the back of that van?:

Okay here are mine. These are on my genealogy site so feel free to nose around my family tree if you want to. :rolleyes: I have traced my family tree back to 1580 so far.

A little info about the pics:

1. Me in 2003 (pic taken with my crappy web cam)

2. Me (on the left!) in 2000

3. Me in 1976

4. Me in 1973 (Yes, I was a giant baby!)

Does this photo clear up any misconceptions folks had on another thread about Keystone's gender? I think so, or she was one ugly girl!!

I'm pretty sure this is from 1983 at "Dress Up Day" during Homecoming Week.

I miss that hat. :rolleyes:

While I have the album out...here I am as a 5' 10", 130 lb high school sophomore (on my way to a soccer game I gather). I've since since grown 2 inches taller and added 100 lbs. :rolleyes: That's my sister on right. She's now in her 30's, with a couple of kids

It's hard to see me, but this is the only photo I had handy, and it's kind of a precursor to my geocaching. This is a cairn near Grinell Glacier in Glacier N.P., 1987.

You can just make me out behind the glasses. And yes, I know those clothes weren't fashionable even in '87.

Hmmmm, you're allowed to build cairns in NP's but not hide a little tupperware container in it. :rolleyes: . OK, I won't go there...back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Right after High School,

I am Gonna get it now.......................................

Maybe that is why I am a tree hugger today.

This is Right before the Mountian Lion Encounter.

Let see at that time,

Bobcats $600.00 each

Fox $60.00 each

Coyote $80.00-$100.00 each

That was a good payday,

but had to pay in my SOUL

in the other ways.

Now I AM a TREE HUGGER.

End of Story there. :rolleyes:

I dug this out tonight and used the digital camera to upload it. This is one of the promo photos for a cheesy rock band that I played keyboards in. Big hair and spandex. Ay yi yi.... This would be around 1988 or 1989. I was 21.

Well, since we've expanded beyond High School, I'll throw in another.

This is me sitting on the hood of a Secret Service car inside the cargo compartment of the mighty Lockheed C-141B Starlifter. This was taken when Hillary went to central america to show her pseudo-support for them after the big floods. Do you see why it's called the "Tube of Pain"?

March 3, 2004

This one is my in my '66 VW Bug, about 10 years ago. The keys are now a travel bug.

Same era, don't think I was entirely sober for this one...

Also the same era, camping at Mt. Pacifico (placed a cache there last year :lol: )

March 3, 2004

My brother and I, 1975 I think.

1983?

1988, poker game.

There seems to be a common theme here (beer). Twenty two years later and nothing has changed.

Edit: Well something has changed. We drink more that just beer now.
