Ha, Ha! Yeah you're not kidding!
I bought that suit especially for that evening.... it was our Awards Banquet where I was the MC and recipient of 5 awards; 3 of them scholarship awards. If that was a 'starting' point of my life, I have no complaints. Just can't believe 1980 was almost 30 years ago now?
As for the GF, she wasn't anything serious, an architectural student at the time that went on to be an architect in Edmonton, AB. I met my wife about 5 months after that photo was taken and she's been the love of my life ever since.

The only reason I have that photo is because they gave us all a memory disc at the 25th reunion a couple years ago.
thought it might inspire some others to post their before/after mug shots? So I dare ya.... post away:
