  • Thats amazing how much people can change

  • thats amazing!!! he looks decades younger in '02. he looks his age now but back then he looks and sounds like a 70 yr old man! best of health to him and your family!!!

  • i loved watching you watching him watching himself! haha

    holy god the metamorphosis is amazing! he is a completely different man, even his voice (but its still recognizable)

    i hope he is more relaxed with the breath shortage issue.

    great story, really

    i love it when he says "lo and behold"

    he is so energetic here

    really you should compile all the videos and make a dvd. they would be a very valuable video for homes and schools across the world...

    big fan.

  • Maybe I should make a video of me watching myself watching him watching himself... lol I also love it when he says "lo and behold".

  • *SALUTE*

    From one soldier to another....GOD BLESS YOU SIR! I'm a veteran from a different generation, but I still respect you as an officer in the armed forces. I would follow you anywhere sir!

    God bless you!

    Big hugs to your Dad and also to you - We need guys like him to keep on kicking. :o)

  • Thanks, John. He will be surrounded by lots of grandchildren again. Have a wonderful holiday yourself!

  • You can tell Les was a very handsome man. He still has that look about him and has the personality where you can tell he was a heartbreaker in his younger years :):)

  • He's blushing. Maybe not a heartbreaker, but he's always been a charmer.

  • Thanks for the video. Keep it up. They are great!

  • I hope you have a wonderful holiday Les and Gingeronymous! Does Les have any good Christmas stories while he was in the Military?

  • Yes he does, and he'll tell it in his next video. We hope your holidays are wonderful, too. We wish everyone at YouTube a wonderful holiday!

  • Hope you get completely well soon, Les! Can't wait to hear more :D

  • We'll be waiting. He's our YouTube rock star. Thank you for the update and take very good care.

  • He hopes he doesn't need to grow his hair long and play a guitar! :-D

  • Thanks for sharing Les. Hope you feel better.

  • Best wishes over the holidays to Les, Ginger and their families. Get well soon Les, can't wait to hear more stories.
