More Competitors in The 2009 March Madness Great-Grandfather Beard Challenge

Found photographs, digital video, 2009

Two new competitors have entered the Great-Grandfather Facial Hair Contest and more competitors are coming soon! 

Ben Y comes out swinging with this hand-colored photograph of his great-great grandfather, Pesach Wolf Cotlarsky from Kiev, Ukraine. The snow white beard is going to present a major hurdle to the other participants. 

Nick L has stirred up some controversy with the submission of Cole Younger, one of the outlaws in Jesse James' gang. Cole is either Nick's distant cousin or uncle. An executive decision was made to allow this non-grandfather into the contest. This has major ramifications. A new precedent has been set: all famous bearded relatives are now fair game.
