Default New Face at Peter's Desk

Folks:

I haven't been up to verify it myself as yet, but there is a rumor that there is a new face at Peter's desk, one that hasn't been seen in New Britain for decades. If anyone is making a vist to the ERA werks, let's get a picture! After all, we ought to know who we're dealing with up there...

Jim

Good luck getting a picture; he is harder to get on film than Sasquatch...

Mel Brooks is 5'5" -- how much shorter can you get?

Now's about the time where you post that lovely picture of the little awful looking smallish type guy who seems to be exiting a Grateful Dead concert or whatever.

But for the fact that I could be mocking an owner of the company that built my car, provides me with advice on fixing it, answers the phone when I call, and sends me parts for it, I would have posted that pic in a heartbeat.

Anybody recognize this guy? It appears that he even knows how to work a computer. The old guy didn't know how to do that.

Jim,
Is this a quaint way of saying that Peter's retiring/retired?

No, only the mustache has, at long last, retired... thankfully.

Have Bob post a better shot of the now hairless walrus-please?

Holly Crap!!! How much weight did he loose when he shaved it off, or did he have it surgically removed? Rumor has it they found a family of elves living in there who will now be eligable for food stamps.

I can only anticipate where Peter goes next. Thankfully, he has been through his "mullet" phase...

Default New Face At Peter's Desk


I'm not sure what surprised me more....
The missing 'stash or the fact that Peter is using a computer!
