Show us a picture of you at your absolute best! Would you go back?

This photo was taken in Hawaii in 1983 when I was 41. At this point, I had almost 24 years in the Navy and was having a good time. While I could have retired. I chose to stay in for another 7 years, which proved to be a good decision.

Oh My... yet another Movie star.. where did you leave the Love Boat Docked ?
 
My prime time was in my 30s, I was finally well employed without money stress, and I'd emotionally matured enough that work and personal relationships were happy. Undecided about going back, if I could take my retirement fund with me I would go back for sure, but otherwise to suddenly find myself with another 30 years of work ahead of me, oh dear!

For a second there, I thought Pecos was goofing on us and put up a picture of Kevin Costner.
Then there's Palides looking like a beautiful19 at 39.
Now here's a gorgeous picture of Honey Nut popped up and a handsome and romantic picture of Squatting Dog.

I can't keep up!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all get together at a party, dressed in our 70's clothes and looking our best?

The ravages of time. That's me 50 years apart. The photo on the left was rejected by the passport office when I applied for my passport. Reason being, I wasn't looking directly into the camera lens.

As long as I were to meet the same lady and she said yes to marriage.

Some can do this fifty year age gap much better than others.
 
I have very few old photos. I've had phases when I threw out all photos that didn't have the kids in them, so there's only ones I gave to my siblings or my mom, and ones they took themselves, mostly taken at the height of my stupidity, not my prime.

Here's me and 2 of my brothers and some cousins. Pretty sure I was 27, recently divorced, had a great job and a nice place. I'm back row center in my V-neck sweater.

And the honeymoon with Michelle last year was a really good time. I was doing great, feeling optimistic, wise, and, pain and sudden weight-loss aside, reasonably prime-ish.

I recognized you immediately! But in the second picture it looks like you haven't aged at all!
Wow! You are handsome!
