My first job was shining shoes in the barbershop in Social Circle. Every Saturday morning, there would be a group of men who would fill most of the guest chairs. Some never got a haircut.This was at the time the Vietnam War was coming to an end.
Ellen DeGeneres and George Bush remind me of my barbershop days
