This first picture's pretty tame, but man, look at the size of that noggin! (It has to be big to house the huge brains.)
Grandma Goldie and Dad, 1941
This next one is of dear old Dad at the start of his awkward tween/teenage years, horn-rimmed glasses and all:
Great Aunt Thelma, Dad, Grandpa Henry, Grandma Goldie circa 1953
This next picture I put in not because it's funny or bad, but because this is one of the only pictures of my dad as an adult without a beard. I have never seen him without a beard, and neither has my mom, even after 33 years of marriage! So this picture is odd to me because it doesn't even seem like the same person!
This is one of my favorite pictures of my dad, as it reminds me how silly he can be for his kids. I took this picture one morning before school, and I don't know why he started posing like that but I remember he loved that it made us laugh.
That's probably enough embarrassment for one day. Happy Birthday Dad. I love your sense of humor and I love you.

Looks like you have an amazing dad! Happy Birthday to him!!
Your dad looks like a trip! I have that exact picture from Prague!
The beardless one kind of looks like Steve Carrell from the office.
Great photos.
that's a great photo of him w/o the beard. Interesting background. What a sweet post.

WOW! I did a post for my dad's 67th birthday today, too!!! Great photos you included here!
Fun pictures. He looks like a movie star in the beardless photo!
My dad is a beard man, too. Looks like Cary Grant without it. Your dad's definitely got the movie star looks, too. Happy Birthday to him!
Happy Birthday to your dad! I too barely recognize photos of my father without a beard! TOO WEIRD!
