Those are very nice pictures.

Oh, BEG!!!

What a handsome fellow he was!  He has character written all over his face. As well as an undercurrent of mischief.

My wife lost her brother and she still feels it after many many years.

You have all my hugs in the world.

And by sharing him here, you keep him alive in many hearts!

You have been on the "Tess" thread -- I ain't no nicing and stuff.

But I know how much you loved your brother -- and you may have seen my post about my Mom.

Intelligent people like us can segment our feelings.

We can have fun and feel deeply at the same time.

We all must bear the burdens put upon us. *sigh*

I am actually laughing and crying at the same time.  Does that make me some form of higher being?

Only the higher of us can feel dichotomy.  BEG-san.  Waxa-on, waxa-off.

You always have my care, dear. :)

And I will preempt you: *knock that off* :)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Great photos, BEG....I can see the family resemblance between you and your brother. And the same look as you in your avatar that makes people wonder what you've been up to.

I never really felt like I looked like either of my brothers, especially my oldest brother.  In fact, I don't look like either of my parents.  I'm fairly tall coming from a mother who is 5'4" TOPS and a Dad who is 5'8" (I'm 5'7").  I often wondered (sometimes wished) I was the illegitimate child of the postman's.     

Now that you say you see the family resemblance I can see it in the eyes.

BEG, thanks so much for sharing those pictures. I really appreciate all the old time pics I have in the finished area of my basement. I have some of my antique furniture from the family there. It's very comforting seeing so many photos down there.

Seeing the pics is a way to almost have our loved ones back with us.
