Some pics of me and Debbie. There are 4 reasons as to why I chose these pics:
1. I
primarily wanted to post some pics of me when I had long hair. So I did. I started growing it out at age 16 and did not cut it short until I was 34. So......this is me as a *longhair*.
2. I wanted to post some pics with Debbie in them.....because she is my wife for the last 30 years and I owe my life to her......I mean it, too. If you wonder as to why I say that please look on the *Brian Head Welch* thread at my long post on page 4 of that thread. That post is a
very small taste of the way I was--and the things I was involved in--when Debbie and me met. She actually started down that road with me after we met, but GOD had other plans. She got saved right before we married......and I started to look at Christianity, and religions in general, in a different way......taking the spiritual seriously. It took me 2 years after her salvation, but I did get saved in 1980. If I had not met her......I am rather
certain that I would be either dead or in prison at this juncture in time......probably dead.
3. Debbie is a *shutterbug* and likes photos. We have a lot of them, but they are not organized at all. They are thrown together in a large closet in boxes. I was not going to look for any others of me......these 2 were easily available.
4. Rather closely related to point 3 above......I am totally and completely reluctant to post any pics of me now......what I look like now. Um......hell would freeze over first. There are only 2 people here at the CMR (regulars) that know what I look like now. One is BigJTink......he met me when I went to his town on business 1 or 2 years ago......I forget. There is one other who knows what I look like now.....that person shall remain nameless. Meh......I look much the same now as in these pics......just older and with short hair. (But it is all still there

)
Now about the pics:
A--First the one on the left with just me and Debbie in it. This was still very much in my/our *party dayz*, Debbie still was not a Christian yet, and I was a long way from it, still. In fact......when this pic was taken by my mom outside my dad and mom's house.....I was still dealing pounds and blocks of blonde hash.
When we met I was 20 and Debbie was 16. When this pic was taken I had just turned 21 years old......2 or 3 weeks before this pic. Debbie was still 17. This pic was taken in the middle or end of March 1978......as we counted down to our marriage that Summer, 2 days after Debbie turned 18. There are still no leaves on any of the plants.....March is usually like a *crap shoot* in Great Falls, Montana when it comes to weather, still too cold for anything *green* to be sticking its *head* up--as in this pic--or getting hot and shorts and such summerwear abounds. This day was on the cold side of things.
A couple last thoughts about the pic. Don't ask me why we are holding a jar full of pennies. I can't remember......I just know it was Debbie's. The 2nd thing......yes, I am skinny. Always been and still am.
B--The pic on the right is me and Debbie with our 1st 2 kids. LOL, the later 2 were not thought of yet.

The oldest boy is Adam......our 1st, and he is 5 in this pic, he is 28 now. The youngest boy is Alex.....he is something under 1 year old in this pic, he is 23 now. They are both married BTW.
This pic was taken in November or December of 1986. I was 28 years old.....almost 29......and Debbie was 25. We were both Christians by this time.....LOL, a nice Christian family.
So......there they are. Pics of me (and others).

And yes.....I really did have long hair once upon a time.
GOD is good.
