MY JOURNEY
ABOVE IS MY FIRST HAIRCUT 1956 BY Mr CRATSLEY WHO LATER SOLD THE KINSMAN, OHIO BARBERSHOP TO MY DAD
My Book Dedication
To my Dad – Daryl, for telling me the day I left Ohio at age 25 years old for California that I’d be back. Perhaps by design to make sure your son went out in the world and proved his parents wrong and didn’t come back and did succeed, something every parent wishes for their child. I've analyzed our relationship, every son wants to please his dad and be close to his dad. Perhaps following your career in barbering was a way for me to be near you every day and relive those childhood days around the barbershop as well.
To my Mom – Joyce, the relationship between a Mom and her Son is strong and special.
Thanks for the talks and the constant encouragement. It was said best in an internet search.
"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever." "Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws." "There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between the mother and a son." "A boy's best friend is his mother." Unknown author.
To my Wife – Toni, we attended the same Rosston barber college, in different years, me attending 1982 and Toni attending Rosston in 1983. But, as fate would have it we met a year later out in the industry at a salon named Alley Cuts. You have been encouraging to me at every crossroad and a true soulmate.
“No man succeeds without a good woman by his side. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.” – Godfrey Winn
My Sisters, Tammy and Darla, we have shared precious years of sibling love and support; your brother may have been 2,000 miles away on the west coast but our childhood memories and my love for the two of you is with me every day!
To my Uncle John who was my Dad’s brother and barbershop partner. Without perhaps knowing you played a part in creating that unique family barbershop atmosphere that I loved growing up around and a model duplicated and continued at our Kistler family owned California barber/salon.
To all our faithful customers, those thousands of hours of conversation and debates ranging from social issues to religion to politics. You were always trusting and open when it came to our conversations and relationship; thank-you for coming along with me in a fascinating journey. I have truly loved every day of my 40 years of barbering, all 90,000 haircuts and the 2,080 Saturdays I was with you and not attending a family birthday party, picnic or friend’s wedding. Oh, I’d eventually get the salon closed and arrive late to many functions, but everyone knew customers and salon came first.
A special shout out to my hometown of Kinsman, Ohio. To my high school buddies that I cruised the late night, small town, back roads while plotting and dreaming about graduating and getting out of our 999 populated small town. I get home to Kinsman, Ohio every year or two. My wife and I and just returned July 2018 Byron and Margaret White Family cousin’s reunion in Andover, Ohio. It’s a real culture shock to transition back and forth from my childhood hometown of Kinsman, Ohio and to my 39-year residence in Anaheim, California that is a city in Orange County, California, part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. As of the 2010 United States Census, Anaheim, California had a population of 336,265, making it the most populous city in Orange County and the 10th-most populous city in California. I’m super fond of my roots and wonder how my life would have turned out staying in the Ohio area.
I believe that no matter where you end up – bring a good attitude, wherever you find yourself. I held strong to those early family values, sprinkle in life’s journey and the result is the man I am today.
