UPDATE: Um, some readers seem to think these are really pictures of me. Sorry to disappoint you, but no. Visit the Yearbook Yourself website and you, too, can create fabulous pictures like these. (But, I gotta say, looking over some of my real pictures from the ’70s…they aren’t too far off the mark. Gulp.)

Freshman year – 1974

Senior year – 1977
