A local barber, "Shaky Pete", passed away last December at the age of 96. WW II vet, he was an 8th Air Force ground crewman until Dec. '44, when he was transferred to the infantry and sent to the Bulge. His father was a barber, and Pete came home from the War to find that his dad had built a barber shop just for him. Pete cut hair in that shop from 1946 to 2018, shortly before he passed. Five days a week! As Forrest Gump might say, "A haircut by Shaky Pete was like a box of chocolates, you never knew what you were gonna get." But I sure do miss him.
