Welcome back. Episode 2 is about "The Journey  of Life Begins "with finding out how we as stylists created so many funny moments of laughter at our own customers’ expense. No harm was created - just funny situations .  
I start out with when I graduated in 1969 and how we hated the Vietnam war and how we all knew that the boys were going to be shipped out within weeks. And yes, we lost many of our boys there.
I knew it was time for me to find my "Journey of Life" by moving out, finding an apartment and finding a new job. Working in the 1970’s we were still teasing hair and using wiglets and learning how to appreciate the humor in our customers crazy hairstyles. 

Todays podcast is about the year 1968-1969 . In this podcast I talk about my beauty school bus ride from Wantagh to Westbury. WE were quite the devils on that bus.
I also talk about my Beauty school teacher, Mrs.M. who really influenced me to become strong and go for the golden ring. I also talk about my Mom & Dad's roller skating days. Then in part 2,  I talk about the death of my Mom and the fabulous funeral I created for her.  She is roller skating with God in heaven!!!!!
Now, it's 1969, 3 months of high school to go and I want to get my own apartment so I could create my journey to be the me I am today. I talk about being a shampoo assistant in Wave & Save  Beauty Salon in Levittown Long Island. This will have you amazed about how this salon did 125 people a day with 10 other hairdressers, a normal day in the life of hair dressers in the sixties. Murray Weiss was the best and hardest boss. He is  one of the many mentors in my life that shaped my future.
