Profile shows him being 66 y/o. 1979 does seem arbitrary, if his profile age is accurate. So what say you @acan451 ? Why 1979? :)
Interesting to note. Look at the 'doubling' on LIBERTY. The letters L,I,B,E, and R all have this same characteristic... the southernmost letter...
My comment about Neil Armstrong was a joke. Cmndr. Armstrong died 10 years ago. I'm guessing today he looks similar to your carving ;) Humor...

Where's my commission for bringing this 'contest' to the forefront? ;)
