Way back when, in 1953, Englewood, Co. had a "Golden Jubilee" celebration to honor their 50 yr. existence. I was only a senior (17 yrs. old) at the time, and most of the men in town were growing beards. Since I had a part-time school job at the camera store ( Home Hobby) and was involved with the Jr. Chamber of Commerce, the Jr. Rotarians, and other civic groups at such a young age, I wanted to grow my own beard. My mother was not too happy at the time since this was my graduation year. Well, I did graduate with a full beard, trimmed & neat, and it is definitely one of the things I still remember about those days.
