Yikes, if this was what passed for a beard in 1948, that’s a sad, sad state for facial hair. My brother-in-law is only capable of patchy spots on his face, but my husband can grow a full beard quickly. Now that it’s mostly white, he resembles Santa with only the aid of his round metal readers. Nobody likes a Santa with a fake beard.

You are so right. I think I had more facial hair at 14. I had to shave off my “beard” for some surgery in Feb. and decided to take the stache as well. Now I am clean shaved. First time in a bunch of years. It was all white any way.

Actually not as much as you would expect. I am pretty pale normally.

I am well, and hope you are. Skimpiest is more accurate indeed.

As a bearded one, I say those in the photo should be banished from the Land ‘o Beards.
