Description
a student named Delbert and myself took audio visual equipment to class rooms needing to show movies. at that time Delbert was about 6'8" or 6'10".
I was far shorter and some students would call us "Mutt and Jeff". it was funny then and more so now 61 years later.
I had always thought of Delbert over the years. anyway someone told my friend John that Delbert was not alive any more. today I found out that Delbert is very much alive, which must make Delbert very happy.
I was talking to a man that was around 7 feet tall. I mentioned to him that being short bothered me some when I was young."But I finally realized that being short made me a smaller target. He told me with a smile "well thanks a lot" "I never thought of it that way"

Love the story and the image , my step fathers name was Delbert and when I was very young we lived in a very small town with the store fronts that looked exactly like this...it hasn't grown much because it sits just below the summit of a pass in Washington state...when I saw this image come up in notifications I had to come, brought back lots of memories so thank you for that:-)

I'm short, too... hey, we rarely hit our heads on anything, so that's a plus. LOL I'm glad your friend is alive! This image is very, very cool.
