While I was at SU in the 70's I grew a beard and mustache...long hair the whole bit. I did this over a period of 4-5 months.
I had been pretty tight with a great looking blond for 7 years, she was teaching elementary school in the Catskills at the time. We hadn't seen each other since before I started growing the beard/mustache.
We got together in the late winter along with a bunch of friends ..Poor House West. (she was on some kind of school break). I guess it didn't go over well. She never talked to me again and married, I assume, a clean shaven interloper about a year a later.
Maybe she married Marsh?
