Russ turns 60!

Who is this? Who can it be? Who? Who? Who? Who?

Look under the beard and into the eyes - yes it is Russ!

For reaching his 60th year, he looks well preserved, don't you think? I say Russ is getting a little furry. He is growing the beard for the role of Tevye in the upcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof. He plans to shave it off after the play - sometime in mid October. Then he'll look 50 and once again be a very young man.

If you are interested in seeing Russ perform the role of an old Jewish dairy farmer living in Russia in the early 1900s - the play is at the Elkader Opera House. Check out this link:
We celebrated his birthday all labor day weekend - at least 3 different groups of people sang Happy Birthday to him - he loved it!
