I was excited! Dad said he had an old photo of me, taken when I was four years old, holding a model airplane. I thought it might be similar to one our good friend the Exotic Guy, Captain Duncan Flett, had revealed to the Brethren a year or so back. Some of you may remember the photo:
The photo clearly shows that even as a youngster our friend was well on his way to becoming "The Exotic Guy." Think about it folks; at an age when most kids can't even count to 727, our hero is holding one in the palm of his hand! A snapshot of exotic things to come. . .
So here is my photo from all those years ago:
I'm told, this was taken on the steps of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. That's mom on the left, and I'm the little guy sitting between family friends, Marie and Joe Dutter, who I have no recollection of. Two things of note here: First; unlike the EG, my airplane is not a 727. Second; it appears my friend Joe Mullis was correct when he teased me that my mother always dressed me funny!
