Letter to the Editor
Shoeshine boy
Tuesday, September 27, 2005
Dear Editor,
I, too shined Sen. Norris' shoes ['The Fighting Liberal' was a tightwad" (http:// www.mccookgazette.com/story/1116540.html)].
When he would come to the barbershop run by Bert Pousch and Fred Schneider, I, being the shoeshine boy, would always shine the senator's shoes.
The cost of a shine then was 10 cents, and that is just what the senator gave me -- no tips.
In a good week, I would make as much as one dollar.
Don Rowland,
