The World's tallest man

While we were in St. Louis, we went to Alton, IL the home of the world's tallest man. Robert Wadlow was born in 1918 and grew to the height of 8 feet 11.1 inches. Here is a picture of Brooke and I with him. I barely come up to his waist. At his death, he weighed 490 lbs. He was 7'4" at age 13! Here we are sitting in a replica of a chair that was made for him. I just can't imagine being that tall!!
