What were you doing in 1982? That’s the year I lived mostly in Alaska, the city of Seward, specifically, and was an AM radio deejay. I’ve mentioned that before. But that year is prominent in my mind because it is when I really started figuring out more of who I was and what I wanted to do. High school hadn’t provided that so I initially bypassed college to “find myself,” although I never would have put it that way at the time.

This picture comes from December 30, 1982, four days after I had returned to Seattle from Seward. That’s me on the right, sitting with my brother, Scott. The occasion is the wedding of our brother, Steve. A pretty nice occasion to reconnect.

But what’s up with that facial hair??
