Old photos.

[bob letterman]

Now that Susan and I are in our "Golden Years", whatever the hell that is supposed to be, we have discovered that looking at photos of friends we never knew back then are really interesting. How about starting an "OLD PiCTURES" thread. I can go back a lot further than these, but I found these first. From 1989, I was closing in on 50 and Susan was 45.

Ditto 1989

and a newer one from 1993.

Funny you should post these photos from the '80s today, Bob, I just saw some photos of the same period posted by Wes Bradley (not sure the surname right now) of you and Susan. Let me say, you have good taste, Susan was quite the babe!

Susan was quite the babe!

Rudi? I think is would be the word, not was... a woman is like wine, she gets better with age. It is only to a son-in-law eyes that the wine becomes vinegar.

Regards,

Hey Rudi,

Thanks, I always thought she was a babe too.

I didn't meet Wes Bradley until Susan was in her 40s. I'll find some in her 20s.

Here is one when I met her if you can get past the big hair! She was 19 or 20. (1965)

Edisto Island SC. Maybe 1968? Not a happy sunbather.

Me and my brothers, that field is a pine forest now.

Dad always thought he could do well in cotton if he kept the labor cost down.

While you are looking Andy,

Here are a few of me. First, 1957, 16 years old and did I think I was tough!!! Geez, I weighed about 140 pounds. Really scary! I'm on the left.

Me in Frankfurt in 1959, Tryin' to look like Elvis with dyed black hair and all! What a moron!

Me as an undercover narc, 1973.

The Inner City, 1978

Ditto

Me and my partner, (Undercover days) in 1976

And last, 1983, I had to go to Germany to get a serial killer that Interpol had arrested. All the passengers on the plane were spooked when I brought him on in chains. This was taken by one of the local papers when we arrived at the airport. Later, we learned this guy was into a lot more than we knew then.

Great stuff, you know I could really chat about the cop years all day long !!

I have loads of mates that are London coppers and having worked in Loss Prevention ( it was called security in those days) a major part of my adult life my work was intermixed with police all day long.

That college pass photo is a peach !!

I thought I would explain the name thing. Both my father and me were named William Robert Letterman. He went by Bill and I have always been Bob. In case anyone was wondering.

Yeah, we were different back then. We all seemed to want to be anybody but ourselves. Schools were different. Today's kids can't spell or find Indiana on a map, but do they have self esteem!!!! Hell, we didn't even know what self esteem meant in 1957!

Let's see some oldies from you!!!

Hey Bob, who is that kid sitting in that hole in front of you? You look very relaxed laying out like that.

Thanks for the explanation, Bob. I'd guessed your first name was William from an email, however my curiosity had been piqued when I saw both a Bob Letterman and a William Letterman listed in the editorial team of some old Verlinden magazines I've recently come across.
