Dear Ron,

Hope you like my funny true story that happened on Bell Island, NL in 1955:

My husband Oliver decided to buy electric clippers so that he could cut our two young son's hair to save money. So then I decided to save even more money by cutting Oliver's hair.

I was listening to 'Hockey Night in Canada' on our radio while trying out my barbering skills for the first time. Just as my favourite team scored the winning goal, I ran the clippers from Oliver's neck to the top of his head.

I laughed so hard that I could only point at my mistake. As I was seven months pregnant, I thought I would go into labour!

It must have been well past midnight when I finished Oliver'™s haircut, trying to make him presentable for the office the next day.

That was my first and last attempt at barbering.
