Back before I was even "knee high to a grasshopper", my Pop entered the local Whiskereno Beard growing contest...and won!

Thirty-odd years later - just for my own amusement I gave it a try too.

Well, I made dogs bark and the children cry, my wife even threatened to leave if I didn't stop.
And I did - when I had finally matched my pop.

It was all worth the price to pay - when I presented him this picture
and to see him smile on his birthday :)

His was black as coal and mine a rusty red (now is turning grey)

Holy cow!  How long did it take to grow it out that much Dave?  That would drive me crazy.

Six months -  always keep a short beard, so I had a good head start.
At the time, I was the same age as he (36) in the picture.

I have red hair, and for some reason my beard (when I let it go out during a 3-week bike tour) is blond.  The mixing of red & blond gave me uncomfortable memories of Dr Zaius (old school one who starred with Charlton Heston) - so off it came right away.

Yeah my beard (when I am allowed to let it grow in) is all kinds of crazy colors, brown, blond, red it's a virtual kaleidoscope.
