Clankeye's earlier post reminded me of a picture my sister sent recently.

Is this YOU?

    What great pics! Even got the pocket protecter look going there. (I think these guys were in the audio-visual club as well, you know, the guys who delivered the projectors to classrooms.)

    No it's not me. Those are nerds. They call them kind of kids geeks nowdays. The nerds liked me & followed me around because I was big, mean, & ugly and their enemies the football players & bullies were scared of me. I'm glad I was cool to the nerds because they grew up to be loan officers @ the banks, doctors, lawyers, people who fix VCR & TVs and other useful trades and still remember me. The football player types became construction workers who work for me & the bullies are in prison for domestic abuse.

    The guy in the top picture, back row, second from the left, wearing the hat. Now that guy was ahead of his time. He's cool. He's in control. No doubt about it. Notice he didn't want to be in any of the other pictures. Had an image to keep up. That guy is the closest to me.

    Cool pics, gave me a good laugh. Thanks for posting.

    Unfortunately, the guy to the far right looks like me many moons ago.
    (But you would never find me wearing that flowered/paisley whatever it is shirt)

    Yup, I'm with clankeye on this one. Dog's got a good point though. And lw, don't take it personal - every rule has to have an exception.

    I might go to the ANA convention in Colorado in 2003. I'd have to choose it over vacation, though.image

    They must have had a big sale on horn-rimmed glasses.

    I think I looked better than that, but if there had been a crowd like that at my high school I probably would have fit in, except I could actually see in those days.

    One thing you could say. Collecting was fun back then because everything was new. And you didn't have worry about keeping up with the Jones' (no pun intended) because your coins were not in slabs, didn't have to grade MS-68 and were not on the Registry. Your friends would be inpressed if you are a large cent or even an Indian cent.

    I was in the Math Club in HS, but it was never THAT bad. No pocket protectors for us (as much as we wanted to wear them! image )

    Looks like the coin club kids in Coin Daughter's year book grew up to look like the instructors in C. Keifer's coin grading class.

    << <i>The collectors of Today look alot better. >>

    I don't know, Cameron, seems like the only real difference is that the pictures are now in color and the stamp weenies got left out.
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    We can laugh all we want, but guys like that founded Microsoft, Oracle and Intel. One of them probably bought the 1933 double eagle.

    i was a loner who ate lunch with the nerds many years ago, one of them is a judge in my county now, two are lawyers. It has been rewarding to know these guys.

    ....and one of them grew up to be a U.S. Coin Forum member. Only one!? image
