IN HONOR OF MASTERS’ WEEK, A BLAST FROM THE PAST…

 In honor of Masters’ Week in Augusta, I post a photo of me in the early 1970’s after having crashed through the main gate of the Augusta National (Magnolia Lane) as I drove some friends of my father to the parking lot, got out, took a tour and left and no one knew the difference. THEY LET ME THROUGH ON WASHINGTON ROAD! Even then, that would not have been allowed. I guess my Masters’ green 1970 Chevy Nova confused the guard at the gate as he waved me through!

You are a doppelganger for the late actor of that period.......I can see his face cannot think of his name. Sunglasses nail the resemblance.

Times have changed, so have people, often for the worst. Back then we had deer rifles in cars and trucks at school, from morning hunts or anticipation of hunting after school, brought guns in for show and tell after a teacher made sure it was unloaded.
Back then I was told I looked like Omar Sharif, then Mark Spitz, and then Tom Selleck, but today it's The Old Man Uncle.
