1967 - Yes that is me with my mom. Ahh those were the days I had hair, I was my target weight, and irresistable to women!

1969 - That's me with my sister Frannie. I am making quite the fashion statement I understand that my first words were "Franks and beans!" I then asked if anyone saw my baseball.

October 1970 - That is a three-year old Rich Grimmel "sittin' up in the seat of his pants" as my mom used to say.

1976 - That's not Velma from Scooby Doo! That's me with a full head of hair, wind sheild glasses, a really cool Starsky & Hutch t-shirt. Wasn't I a future stud-muffin or what?

May 4, 1981 - My confirmation at St. John's. With my sister as my sponser, and Fr. Bradley and Bishop Murphy doing the honors.
September 20, 1983 - Brother Jack's wedding and I had to get a photo of me with the limo. It was then heavy-weight champion Larry Holmes' car.

May 1985 - Pink shirt, sliver sock tie, a black Members Only jacket and my trademark Wayfarers. Hey, what I can I say? This was the 1980's!

May 17, 1985 - Me with Mom before leaving for my prom. This pic proves that I did have have hair once, I went to the prom, and I could get a date once! (I went with Kate McGann, not Mom!)

May 20, 1985 - My graduation from John Carroll whatever became of that bald face youngster? What happened to that mop of hair?

April 24, 1988 - My 21st birthday. A good party with all the best folks and my best girl, my niece Kelly, on my arm!

November 1990 - Enjoying a dance with Tammy Kowalski at my sister Frannie's wedding. What can I say? What girl wouldn't want to dance with a liquored-up Rubeus Hagrid in an After Six Tuxedo?

1995 - The Chicken meets Cementhead! Yep folks! That's me and my crew from the Bandits days. Shout out to Tom, Gary, and Roland! I really miss you guys! Oh yeah Rob and lil' Robbie too!

Spring 1996 - Ahhh! Amongst my people in my second home the fabulous Baltimore Arena for a Baltimore Bandits game. It takes real man to wear a Raccoon on his chest!
November 4, 2002 - Notre Dame vs. Navy at PSINet Stadium with two of my favorite Fightin' Irish fans Karl and A.J. Schalk.
December 25, 2005 - The Ravens played on Christmas night this year. And a visit from Santa's helpers Michelle and Nichole was a nice holiday treat too!
