I didn't think I should as only women have posted in these threads. My first wife took this as I was getting ready to leave on spring wheat harvest. We would combine the spring wheat in Eastern New Mexico and West Texas plains. We would harvest also in Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas,Eastern Wyoming and all the way to Canadian border this was taken in 1959 just a little over 30 years ago Meet Clyde my Male Sugar Glider.

Looking young is a struggle. Even at my age. I have TONS and TONS of pure white hairs. The other day mom and Mark were like, WOW Loz---color your hair. The color just doesn't grip on them good. Mom looks great for her age! I'll be lucky to look that good.

Here is a picture of Don and some friends of ours at his house in Girdwood, Alaska in 1978. For those of you who know this band, don't you think this picture looks like it belongs on a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young album cover?!? That's Don, second from the right! And his VW bus in the background.
