I still can't get over how, in the Navy issue undershirt and pants, he looks like any modern college kid in a sweat suit. Mr. Hall used to say, "You could pick that kid up, put him on any modern day college campus and he'd blend right in."

It's amazing - especially the colorized versions of the portraits -

It's uncanny, isn't it? He also has a very modern haircut and none of the exaggerated beard and/or mustache typical for his time. He kind of reminds me of a young Abercrombie and Fitch model in that photo... He'd fit right in for sure.
