It’s been fully sixty years ago I realized that when my Daddy took me to the barbershop, after I got out of kindergarten at noon,,,,,
My father did not cuss, swear, drink ,smoke or talk nasty about women
A haircut was $1.50 and Daddy paid two dollars.
The old men would spin wild tales about new cars with 100 mile per gallon carburetors, and Daddy never said a word
The other men said the world was just about to end and the younger people were going to have a horrible time, and my Daddy would never agree with them
He’s point at me and say my son will take air conditioning for granted, and not have to get a hair cut so he’ll have a cool place to loaf.
He had the largest funeral in the history of our little town.
Daddy was a good Christian and an optimist.
