That's an unwelcome surprise. He's retired as of today. He made no mention of retirement when I last was there, about six weeks ago. Walt Young has been my barber for over ten years. I can scarcely believe he's 81, he looks and acts a decade younger. As much as I criticize our print media the article about him today is wonderful, well worth a read. A bit:
He was just seven years from breaking his father's longevity record for barbering, the bulk of it done at Chicago's famed Palmer House hotel.
"Dad told me to be a milkman," Young said. "Said I'd meet a lot of women."
Young's skills go beyond combs and clippers. The shop walls are lined with his art: oil paintings, pastels, portraits in pencil. They are the work of a first-rate talent, not just a pretty good amateur. Young has shown in area galleries but is unsure how many works he'll churn out in his retirement.
"The muse comes and goes," he said. "I can't really say what I'm going to do."
I can attest to all that. His art hangs on the walls of the otherwise dingy barbershop, and it is top notch stuff. He told me once he'd not want to earn a living that way, as he has no interest in drawing or painting on command.
