Yea I never called him on it, if he wanted to shave to swim him best...what do I know ?, I was baseball and track.
He was a great guy, dead too early at 23 yrs old...His name was Mark Ball, always said he'd name his first kid "Harry"....we laughed our azzes off
PS: After he shaved his head the first time, his hair never grew back right...he was stuck always shaving it till the end.
