I don't remember clearly his face... but I remember it was rounded and fleshed out, tho not fat...definately not skin and bones. Hmmm... memory...now where the heck did I put it again? Huh?

Carman, when I joined the reserves in 1962, I was 5'6" and weighed-in at a whopping 118 lbs. You could count my ribs, but my face was not gaunt.
Ya see? The numbers do add up.
