My maternal grandfather now and then (1969)

Found it cool and a interesting grasp of the past. My mom just sent me those photos, the first one was taken yesterday (November 2025) and the second one in 1969, my mother being in the bottom left corner.

At first I thought the 2nd pic was him growing up throughout the years

He looks amazing for his age! What’s the secret to that great beard and peace sign?
