                                                Bearded since: 1979. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard the year I went away to college, 1979. It was the nineteen seventies and most guys there had a beard or were growing one. It was a part of becoming a man. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? It is an essential part of me and I wouldn't shave it off for anything!
