I shot up from 56 to 61 when I was 14. 43 years later still 61
I shot up to 6' 2" when I was 12... The lack of proper foods being available during the war resulted, for me, in many sleepless nights because of joint pain...
By the time I reached Parris Island in June 1951, I was 6' 3"...
However, don't worry or brag about "still" being 6'1" at age 57... When I reached the 70's the age-driven shrinkage started and today at almost 87 I'm a wimpish 6'1"...
