Thanks for the memory. My father's silver strands, turned into a glorious head of silver white. He was so proud of his abundant silver hair! Thanks for the memory of one so loved XX Lizzie

Nicely done Russ. Reminds me of my dad. His hair stayed jet black through most of his life until he had his stroke. Then it went white. This has a nostalgic feel to it and I think it should place highly. Good job. God Bless, JB
