Oh My Goodness Was I Ever That Young?

I was looking through an old book the other day, and stuck inside was this, a picture of me and Dennis Fitzgibbon, taken in 1974, at the Rettenmaier trailer north of Burlington, Iowa, when I was seventeen:

Shupe and Fitz at Rettenmaier's Trailer 1974

It is hard for me to comprehend that I was only 3 years older in this picture than my oldest son is now. He’s just a kid, and I was so mature and grown up. At least it seemed that way.

I’m going to end this post before I start lapsing into Rettenmaier trailer stories, of which there are a few, not all of them necessarily flattering.
