Teacher Shaves for First Time Since 9/11

I read this Time Magazine article online today after reading numerous Osama bin Laden articles and it definitely caught my eye. Washington state middle school teacher, Garry Weddle, made a vow following September 11, 2001 to not shave his beard until Osama bin Laden was captured or killed. Weddle kept his promise and finally, 10 years later, shaved his overgrown beard completely off on Monday at school. More on the story here: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/05/03/with-bin-laden-dead-teacher-shaves-for-first-time-since-sept-11-2001/

I have great respect for someone who keeps a promise, even if it is just to himself. Talk about dedication to your word!
