Wish the sculptor had used themid-to-late 70s likeness - the curly hair, the beard, like on that poster you have, Char! (Keep your doors locked, I know where you live and would be EXTREMELY TEMPTED to "requisition: it!
)
At the Riverboat plaque ceremony, there was a tall, cute reporter (baby-boomer age) who had on a handmade Lightfoot t-shirt which had a large photo of Lightfoot during the mid-70s. When the ceremony concluded and I walked back into the Hazelton, I passed the reporter and said, "Like the shirt!" He replied, "So did Lightfoot. He came up to me and said, 'I wore that beard and haircut for 17 years.' " I said, "Wish he still did" and laughed. He smiled and said, "So do I!" Oh well, I wish I look like I did 30 plus years ago - don't we all...
