I used to get this a lot on the phone, they would visualize some older guy. I was fairly young when I took over the business they would be asking where my boss was.
I'll start with lsayre. When I see a post by Larry I visualize a middle aged man with glasses. He's sitting at a desk next to his boiler with one of those old time calculators crunching numbers.

LOL. With a tweed jacket that has the arm patches.
Nah...I see Larry in his mid 30's at best. Likely an engineer.
I think Richard is like my old high school principal. Mid 60's and authoritarian.

Isayre reminds me of my uncle, an engineer for PECO back in the day, so his image is what I picture for Larry.
Problem is he died back in the 70's so I am stuck with Larry wearing those thick rimmed 60's glasses and white short sleeve button down shirts with dark brown polyester pants at flood level with white socks!

I picture Mayor Richard wearing navy blue khaki work clothes (even in retirement ) with his name on the chest patch and prescription safety glasses with the side shields...guess who I picture as "Jeff Spicoli", in Fast Times At Ridgemont High?

My visual is never even close when I meet people that I have spent a lot of time talking to on the phone or on here. It is always an appearance totally different than whats in my head.
