EMG turns 85

Undaunted by some unsought excitement toward the end of his 85th year, my dad is celebrating the start of his 86th year today.  As I write every January 3rd:  I'm lucky to have a great dad.

While I'd happily repeat some of the details about why I feel that way, I thought instead that I'd revisit some movie-star comparisons that have been made over the years.

Exhibit 1:  Tyrone Power was a bit ahead of our time, but we repeatedly heard over the years that EMG often was compared to Tyrone back in the day - perhaps because of photos like these (click to enlarge):

Exhibit 2:  Moving ahead a generation (or two) - our children often cited the similarities between EMG and George Clooney - perhaps in part because of the way Clooney was outfitted in the wondrous O Brother, Where Art Thou?:

Hey Dad - happy #85 - with love from your son.
