Portraits of the Nerd as a Young Man

Several more pictures I picked up over Christmas and scanned in. These are from late high school, and chronicle some poofier stages in The Hair.

I have always been seriously impressed by The Hair. :)

Hee. I like the still younger, pre-Hair, icon too.

While I think you must have looked something like the photos from your senior year when I met you (which I think may even have been when you visited MIT as a prefrosh rather than the beginning of your freshman year), my brain has clearly adjusted quite a bit since then because it was suprised to see that you used to look like that. (Heck, my brain is capable of being suprised when I see photos of myself 10 years younger too, I suppose - "wow, did I really look that young then?".)

ok, so, aside from the slightly dorky glasses... dude, you were cute!

I should dig up some high school pictures of me. My only "younger me" icon is the one of me at age 6.

Lordy, Nathan,
I never before saw that pic of you with Lori Waters receiving the award. She is the Republican super conservative whose only credential was heading an anti-abortion group when she got elected to the Board of SUpervisors. But she has recently voted with the anti-growth Democrats mostly due to pressure from her constituents who hate all the traffic. SO she is a local hero of sorts now, having made the Republican effort to spread sprawl all over Loudoun much more difficult.
I have my favorite pic of you to send, but I can't figure out attachments on this program.
