The Big Ugly Sweater
Chris’s gentle and almost pretty face belied his broad shoulders and toughness.

Others had sometimes tried to keep up with him when he made his newspaper deliveries but they couldn’t long maintain his pace. Route Manager Schwin called Chris his ironman.

“I’m an FBI Agent. I serve the country and I serve the President. He asks me questions and I answer them. In these films you’re taking of me, have some respect and blur out my face before you show them.”
“Sir, we are newscasters and it is our duty to report the news, but out of respect for you and your services to this country, respectfully Sir, your facial image will be blurred out.”
