I am 84 and had such great memories of my father and his barber shop; and the sign in his window that meant we got free Movie tickets, on 2nd Ave. - for me and my friend, Raymond Lasher who too is 84; we were just little boys maybe 11 years old; he lives in Ariz. and I in Mich.

I am too sad for these women who were stabbed. I was in WWII in the CBs and never injured: Ray became a lieut. commander in the US Navy. I was a victim of a extraordinary beating in my midlle 70s. Aggrqavated assault it was labeled. I know brutality; my wife does too and my autistice blind and mute son collateral-ly paid for the attempted murder.
