A Farewell To Facial Hair of the Day: After 9/11, Gary Weddle, a middle school science teacher from East Wenatchee, Washington, vowed to go unshaven until Osama bin Laden was either captured or killed.
According to The Daily Astorian, Weddle was tending to his garden when he received a call from a colleague informing him that bin Laden was dead. “Weddle wasted no time finding scissors and razors,” The Daily Astorian writes. “He cut the beard and was shaving the stubble even before President Obama addressed the nation about bin Laden’s demise.”
The momentous occasion gave Weddle’s wife Donita a reason to celebrate. Or, at least, another reason. “He looks 10 years younger,” she told The Daily Astorian. “It’s a very happy moment for us. It’s a very happy moment for the whole nation.”
