I'm jealous of your dad. He was the prime age during the prime decade. Awesome.

I bet your dad's about my age. My siblings and I all had the same long hair, feathered back.

He was born in '58. Still alive and kicking. He survived pancreatic cancer in 2001 and is looking forward to retirement next year.

Wow that's amazing, he certainly beat the odds! He's got a few years on me (1963), wishing your dad a very happy retirement!

That wasn’t HS, that was skipping school. Drinking a Tab! The first Totally Artificial Beverage, aka diet soda.

For a straight dude from very rural Western Kentucky, he knew how to accessorize.

Where was this taken? I could swear I know that dude.

Not sure where. He's from Burna, KY. It could be from nearby or on a road trip to Los Angeles. My grandma and her folks moved out there during the depression and then came back to the old homestead a decade or so after the war.

I rocked a feathered mullet deep into 80’s. I also might have let it linger into the early 90’s
