This is Dad in his younger days. It's sort of how I remember him as a child, with a bit less hair perhaps. The advent of the eighties brought his hair above his ears, but thankfully, the moustache remained pretty much intact! It did disappear for a few years when I was a teen, but it's back for good now!Dad is definitely the grooviest guy I know, in fact, he's the complete package. He really does know EVERYTHING. He used to tell us that when we were little and we didn't believe it for a second, but now I'm convinced it's true. He's smarter than me even, so that ought to tell you something. He's curious about everything and will never tire of learning new things. I know that doesn't jive with what I just said in the previous sentences, but if you knew my Dad, you'd get it.
He's loving and kind. He's very generous, and a shopaholic, and I've done very nicely out of that. He's very open and friendly and likes to get to know new people. No one moves into our ward in Saudi Arabia without being be-friended by my Dad. He can get along with just about anyone. He sees potential in people and helps them to develop it. He thinks he's really funny. And he is.
He's a bit of a chatterbox (and he likes to call himself that) so thank goodness for internet phone service. He's never jealous of us kids or my Mum and will gladly send us off on a whirlwind trip to some city he himself would love to visit while he sits at home in Saudi Arabia. He's just happy that we've been able to do something he knows we'll enjoy. And best of all, he was clever enough to pick the grooviest girl in the world to be his misses.
Did I mention he's devilishly handsome?!

I have to agree. He is oh so devilishly handsome. He's almost as handsome as I am.
That photo looks familiar; was it one of the ones we scanned for you last year?
Also, you can't see his famous socks in that picture!
Your dad has a pimp mustache just like my dad did at one point.
Grandpa got a wonderful, if slightly belated, birthday present when the Supreme Court kicked Bushie's ass and told him the Geneva Convention & the rule of law are part of American law. Well, George, as FDR found out, "court packing" doesn't always work! Hurray for the real America, not the 5 Rs - racist, redneck, right wing, religious fanatic, Republicans!
The fact that Pres. Bush is currently touring Graceland with the PM of Japan probably doesn't help matters, does it?
I love my daddy very much, everything my big sis says is true. He is the best.
I don't think it does anonymous. I don't think anything will ever help George regain his popularity back. He's been digging himself a grave ever since he was elected. The people of this country won't stand for it any longer.
