Squadron 40 Officers Commander First Vice Second Vice Finance / Adjutant Sergeant At Arms Past Commander Judge Advocate Steve Poutier Roger Rhodes Keith Conn Ed Sheubrooks Just Like The Good Old Days... Gentlemen, do you remember when Barber Shops were not a franchise operation in a mall or filled with high dollar hair products? The Barber Shop used to be a place a guy could go for a haircut and shave while talking with other patrons or the Barber. Those days seem gone as the shop has turned into a salon. For those of us on the Treasure Coast, we are in luck. There is a Barber Shop here that has been in the same location since 1975 and provides all the memories of times gone by, including finishing your haircut with the shave of a straight razor. Best of all, it belongs to Pat Watkins a fellow Veteran, having served in the Navy. Pat recently purchased Don s Barber Shop, were he has worked for over 20 years. If you are looking for a good barber shop, stop in and see Pat. Haircuts are only $11 and the shop is located at 2935 S. US 1. (On The Corner of Emil and US 1) The shop is open Tuesday - Friday 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM to noon.
