When he was unhurried, he would take up to an hour before stashing his clippers and swinging the black barber's cape off my shoulders. With no one waiting in line that day, Rev. Linton had the time to focus on me and tell a story about an event that changed his life. I had heard snippets of it from him before but never the whole version"--
