Thanks so much Linda. I just posted an updated self portrait taken a few days ago for comparison. #10075772

Wow, Dale, great capture and pose. You look handsome like a holly wood actor and seeing your today's pic, I see you aging gracefully indeed.

Outstanding recovery...who knew this could be a Polaroid shot? My, you were one hell of a handsome lonely man. You could NOT have been lonesome for long!

I don't know why, but when I glanced at this image, I thought, "F. Scott Fitzgerald!" #10076049

You're too kind Usman. Thanks so much.

Michelle, thank you. You've made my day. :o) And you're right. About two months after taking this image I met my future wife and we were married six months later. We were married for nearly 54 years. #10076566
