My [former] Boss

This picture was taken at a time when the adolescent Toal was struggling to establish an idependent sense of himself. Long restricted by the fashion sense of his mother, he was experimenting with any clothes he could find. In his juvenile rush to create a new identity and prove himself capable of dressing without his mother's help, he fell prey to ruthless hair stylists and unscrupulous clothes retailers. Unable to make the determination between a daring new look and mere garishness, he draped himself in polyester and allowed his hair to grow nearly unchecked. It took a Marine Corps recruiter to provide some direction to this lad, and a Drill Instructor to clean him up and make him presentable enough for him to find a wife.
Ooh Rah, Marine Corps!

	Then Major (now LtCol) Toal, Master of Sartorial Gaucherie!


		Here is proof that you don't have to dress well to be successful. LtCol Toal has managed to be promoted in spite of his inability to dress himself. As you can see in the picture at left, if his wife is not around to make sure he puts on clean pants and a collared shirt in the morning, he'll show up in any scruffy outfit he can find. Thankfully, the Marine Corps dictates what he wears during the workday. In spite of being wardrobe-challenged, LtCol Toal doesn't allow his handicap to keep him from having a productive life. Semper Fi, Sir!

In all seriousness, though... one of the best bosses I've ever had!
Go back from whence you came or Go home!
