I grew my first beard in 1952 and was one of a half dozen men with a beard in New York City. Hard to imagine now. We met once a month for lunch. The group included Skitch Henderson the band leader, Edward Gorey the cartoonist, and Horace Tidus -- the son of Helena Rubinstein. And I was often stopped at the bar door and given the once over by the bouncer. "Are you sure..." Times sure have changed.
