This is the only photograph of Mark Gresham with a mustache that exists (as far as I know). He said it was for a mustache-growing contest in San Marcos, Texas, in 1973, when he was 32. I think it was probably for the annual Chilympiad chili-cooking contest that had started in 1970, held in San Marcos in September. The local chamber of commerce sponsored the event in those early years, and Mark served on its motel room tax committee while he was city manager there.
