Great hair!

Scott म्हणाले...

What a nice looking man. I especially like the bow tie he wore in the photograph. It's a great accent to a sunny disposition.

Meade म्हणाले...

His forehead looks like Dennis Miller's.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York म्हणाले...

Handsome guy. Hey, my dad was handsome too, in a "he looked a lot like me" sort of way.

How old were you when you did the portrait?

Shane म्हणाले...

I can see the Sinatra approaches based on the sideshot photo.

My father still lives in South Jersey. To good men everywhere! Salut!

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"A drawing of my father, Richard Althouse, dating back to the 1940s, signed by Henry Jacobs."

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

I was less than 0 when that drawing was made.

Meade म्हणाले...

He also looked a lot like my two favorite stepsons.

David म्हणाले...

Handsome man!

The sketch looks a bit like Ronan Farrow. Is Frank Sinatra your grandaddy?

Malesch Morocco म्हणाले...

I can see you in his eyes.

Fathers Matter!

By the way, the latest study by "them" suggests that there is a correlation between the housework gap and the gender gap at work.

"Researchers found that when fathers perform a more equal distribution of household labor, their daughters express a greater interest in both working outside the home and in a broader array of occupations."

I suggest "housework gap" would be an excellent tag.

Blair म्हणाले...

I think we have finally found DB Cooper!

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Handsome man!"

I sure think so!

"The sketch looks a bit like Ronan Farrow. Is Frank Sinatra your grandaddy?"

He did look a lot like Frank Sinatra (and was asked for his autograph on that account), but as the 2 men aged, they looked less alike, my father being more handsome. Better hair!

For the record, my father had blue eyes.

(Both my parents had blue eyes and dark hair.)

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Sinatra was born about 10 years before my father.
