Past Lives..What Ya Got..For fun
Me and my K-9 partner "Dusty" taken by an Army photographer for a newspaper article while stationed in Panama 1981-1984. I retired from the Army in 1998. It's good to look back over your life at times, memory lane.

Just for fun, if ya have something to share from your past, funny or serious, lets see it with you being in the picture!!!

Just thought it would be interesting to see and get to know others a little better. Maybe have fun doing it!

I'm lurking and can't contribute because I'm away from home. Good idea and good stuff!

David, my past life jobs have all been office jobs, so nothing at all conducive to job photographs of any kind. But in keeping with your going back 25 to 30 years, here's one from that time period of me (on the left), my kids and my youngest sister at Miami MetroZoo.

This was taken while we were driving a herd about 5 years ago, but could just have well been 50 years ago. Nope, that's not dirt on my boots! :jump:

Oh yeah. Some drives go on for days. We only have to go about 3 miles, but what a treat!

Here's a funny one i just pulled in off a quick Google search--me in Grad School in 2001. I had just finished converting this trailer into a weather balloon launching facility--but notice the silly mistake i made in putting the "Hazardous Materials" sign on the side of the trailer :rolleyes: This was shortly after 911 so i was really surprised i never got pulled over as a suspected terrorist... :biggrin:

In my youth I was a child. Some people don't believe that. Others tell me I haven't changed a bit.

This newspaper clipping is from Detroit's East Side Shopper published on Wednesday, July 2, 1958.
