While not having a beard quite as grand as Leon Newton's, mine is at present sort of approaching that. So it's encouraging to see your Tenn. Chapter of the Beard Team USA. Here in the "liberal" northeast (I'm in central NJ in a suburbanite "yuppie" town) my face is viewed by some at least, as rather shocking. Some even call the town police when they see me. And here I am, law-abiding, a regular church attender & church organist. The razor-makers & media surely have succeeded in brain-washing the public & men in particular, that only razor-cut/boy-faced men are "normal".
