Blast from the Past

While Joel was looking through our wedding photos, he came across this picture of himself with his three brothers, taken at the time he graduated from Kansas State University in 1979.  Yes, that's Joel, second from the left, with massive hair.  Remember, this was the '70s, when most everyone had big hair.  We think the guys purposely lined up according to height, beginning with Gary (left), at the time the tallest at 6 ft. 4 inches.  

Gary, Joel, Harlan, Darren

Fast forward thirty-three years, and here they are together in Colorado last weekend.

Harlan, Darren, Gary, Joel

Notice any differences?  Other than the fact that Darren (the youngest) grew, and grew some more, to a height of 6 ft. 7 inches, the guys are all now comfortable showing affection via the side-hug.  And I think they really mean it!   ;)
