The last Thursday of March, 1967, I joined Weight Watchers--by July I was down to their goal and by September I was down to my goal of 168 pounds (I would briefly--very briefly--maybe for 5-10 minutes--I weighed 159) and the world was mine! I WAS HOT! I WAS HUNKY! EVERY MAN AND WOMAN WANTED ME! (I was, also, full of myself--that happens to a fat person who becomes thin:o) ) I, also, became a clotheshorse--I, literally, spent every penny I had on clothes--this is page one of two. It was a time of Nehru jackets, see through shirts--there was a revolution in the men's industry and I took part of every new style that came out!

Very handsome pictures. Fun to wear new clothes when you know you will look good in them.

You look very charismatic in the photos, and I'm sure you still are.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time. You worked hard. I'm glad you lived it up and felt on top of the world.

You look pretty sharp in the pictures. It must have felt great to need all those new clothes.
