THE BIG COMBOVER

      This past week I connected with an fellow employee from Allied Mutual days in Des Moines, Iowa, back in the 1960's and early 70's. He mentioned another mutual employee who was partially bald and always combed the hair from the sides of his head and combed it over---way over!

        It was always funny when we walked to downtown Des Moines at lunch time from the office at 701 5th Avenue up near Vet's Auditorium. On a windy day this poor guy was constantly pulling his hair his head with his hand. Although he was not considered a handsome man, I think he would have looked much better by just "whacking it all off!"
