. . . and stood about five foot seven. His hair was black and gray (particularly his sideburns), and he had a medium-toned complexion. He wore black, rectangular glasses which contrasted with his oblong-shaped face. Many of his front teeth were missing, so he had a mouth full of gums. He wasn’t a looker, that’s for sure. Another thing, his outfits left a lot to be desired. That brown and beige checkered suit he sported had faded out of fashion many years ago.
