Today is Memorial Day and I would like to thank all veterans for their service to our country, including my 83 year old dad who served during the Korean War.

For this post, I would like to step back and remind you what I looked like the day of the surgery in September, 2012.  Dr. Vories made this video minutes before starting my surgery.  You can see the great transformation in the other picture that NeoGraft uses for their national website.  NeoGraft created the machine that extracted my grafts and is still using my before and after photos as a banner on their website.

1 Year & 35 Weeks Since My FUE Hair Transplant

Today I'm posting a couple of new pictures.  Everyone in the pictures are Eastern Kentucky University graduates....including Dr. Vories!  He went on to the University of Kentucky Medical School and became a physician in Eastern Kentucky before becoming a prominent hair transplant surgeon.  The other person is Robert Bell who is a highly sucessful radio personality and motion picture actor!

The second picture was taken of Dr. Vories and me at the International Hair Restoration Conference in the Bahama's.  I was on display for a room full of hair transplant surgeons.  Everyone was congratulating Dr. Vories on the success of one of the largest single session FUE transplants ever!!!  I was five weeks out of surgery when the picture was taken.

Today I'm posting a couple pictures from a similar perspective and distance.  One picture was taken at Churchill Downs in Louisville a couple years ago and the other was taken recently when I performed my practical test while getting my concealed carry license. Notice...the guy on the right looks younger!!

By the way....if you can zoom in on the target I was shooting at, you will see where all of my required 20 shots found the target and the instructor said I hit seven shots in the same hole!!  You can see where the hole size was increased with each shot.  One other point of reference, this was the first time I had ever shot a gun!!!  I was using the instructors 9mm Sig Sauer hand gun from about 25 feet.

I'm posting these pictures today with a heavy heart.  The first picture shows me with the GREATEST POODLE WHO HAS EVER LIVED!!!!  Paris was about 12 years old when this picture was taken and you can clearly see how bald I was.  The second picture was taken just a few weeks ago when Paris was 14 1/2 years old and had just had major surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her intestine.  She died a couple days later.  It was the saddest day Michele and I have ever spent.  She meant so much to us and we still miss her so much.  Anyway....you can clearly see the difference in my hair growth.

It's March Madness in college basketball!!!  As you know....I live in Louisville Kentucky which is the home of the National Champion University of Louisville Cardinals!  The year before (2012), the University of Kentucky won the national championship!!!  So....don't mess with our state when it comes to basketball!  The picture on the left was taken during the first U.L. vs. U.K. game at the new Yum Center here in Louisville.  The picture was taken the year I had the hair surgery.  Price Jacobs was a college room mate and came up from Atlanta to visit and attend the game.  The picture on the right was taken on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Two great sports venues!  You're looking at the 18th green at the golf course at the Wynn Hotel on the Vegas strip!  It costs $500 a round!  You guessed it.....we only had lunch there!!!!
