About time. Hope he received a boatload of withering emails about the creepy growths on his lower face. As an old friend of mine used to say about beards and mustaches, "Why are you cultivating what grows wild on my azz?"
:-) The beard was sparse and gave nothing more than a dirt blemished face. His mother probably read him the riot act and made the boy shave it off. Either she or his ‘children and wife’ refused to kiss him until he did. Uck..everyone enjoys kissing a prickly needle cactus head./s
