I just google'd this guy's name.
Westmont Hilltop High School
Class of 1969
His yearbook photo is in here. I can't put a link in the comment section because they aren't allowed.
You'd think the story reporter would have done the same thing.

#2 - Mon Jan 8, 2007 3:10 AM ESTummm.... yeah, the letter was sent in 1954... if he was the class of 1969 then he was only 3 years old when the letter was sent. how many 3 year olds know how to to read ? how many get letters ? don't you think they would have already tried google ? sometimes things aren't that easy or simple. sorry.

My 3 year old gets them all the time! Of course, she cannot read them, but her grandparents and other relatives like to send her little notes and stuff. When you're 3, getting mail is like winning the lottery. I agree with you that he's already been Googled, but don't discount the fact that he may have been extremely young when the letter was sent.

The letter says:
If you first read this when all about you
Are losing hair and blaming it on you
Then you'll be a man, my son.
This joke might have worked if it had been written coherently.

How about this:
If you still have your hair when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting
for this letter to arrive
Then you'll be a man my son.

When you're 17, getting mail is like winning the lottery.

There is a Frederick Z. Yost who currently lives in Florida who was born in 1951. I would say that is likely him. The "letter" could, in fact, be a card of some sort. My infant son receives cards for special occasions, so I don't find it unusual that a three year old might also. I do find it unusual, however, that the reporter writing this story didn't run a similar search. It took all of 1 minute to find this guy.
