Teacher still keeps vow not to shave until Osama bin Laden is captured

He has a special way of remembering 9/11.

It's a daily reminder and has been since shortly after the fateful day when terrorists commandeered commercial airliners full of people and crashed them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people.

Five years ago, when that was happening, Gary Weddle, then a substitute teacher in Wenatchee, got so caught up in the news that he neglected to shave. A week or so later, he vowed not to shave until the chief of the terrorists, Osama bin Laden, was captured or proven dead.

Weddle did it as a personal reminder of the tragedy, but it became a reminder to everyone he knows.

He did it figuring it would be only a month or two before bin Laden was caught.

Now it's been five years, but to Weddle, 46, a vow is a vow. He still has the beard and despite frequent suggestions that he at least trim it, he's never done so.
