That cleaned up very nicely, Mike. I like that it's not colorized. I guess I am one of those dinosaurs who believes that a good black and white photo is every bit as beautiful as a good color photo (and far superior to a mediocre color photo).

Thank you, sir. I don't have software to color photos but if I ever do I know where to get good advice!

He's still an ugly ole cuss in either photo, and it doesn't look like the slimfast diet did him any good in the After as compared to the Before...

All kidding aside, very nice work Mr. Serpa!!

Thanks. Please, just call me Mike.

Admiral Paulding: Do you have change for a dollar?
Ensign Serpa: Yup, you betcha.
Admiral Paulding: That's not how you address a superior officer!! Let's try this again. Do you have change for a dollar?
Ensign Serpa: No, Sir!

I think that crack about the slimfast diet is inspired! That cracked me up.

Note that Mr. Serpa did not ask us "What is this object under Admiral Paulding's coat?" (like he did with General Hunter...) there could be something there like a wallet... but I'm thinking mostly it's just belly...

BTW... @Mike Serpa , I still think you need to declare (or poll) the top 5 best, most likely answers to the General Hunter question... I'm still thinking it's a collapsible whisky cup...
