Love mom's hair, looks like she might fly away. And yes, Barry and
I had haircuts, only a mother could love and, a Dad could give.
Dad gave us these hair cuts. We "LOVED" when Dad gave us the infamous

I remember well those haircuts. He got his formal training on haircutting from Luella.
Your dad had come a long ways in haircutting by the time you reached age 12 or so.
From time to time when he was still a boy barber, he was called upon to cut someone's very long hair.
Sometimes some would let their hair grow to length on 4-5 inches and very thick, thus requiring about
2 hours with hand clippers to get them looking ok.
Your cuts look GOOD compared to one occasion when he cut Earnest Wade's long locks. Your dad was a
mere teenager and not very experienced in barbering. As he tried to fix one great gap after another to even Wade's hair,
after a couple hours under a hot canvas cloth, temperture in 90's, Wade sweating, Marty laughing, Wade had about a 1/4 inch
hair on the very top of his pate, with the sides skinned. Wade didn't need another hair cut for about a year!!!.
Wade didn't have to pay for that haircut, it was a freeby. But Wade says he still owes Uncle Marty something for that hair cut.
I don't know if he meant money or SOMETHING else. You may be able to figure that out. Wade wasn't very rational when looked
at himself in a mirror for the first time. Consider yourselves lucky. Virg
