I grew up in Audubon,later moving to Missouri. I had long wanted my hair cut short. On a trip to Minnesota and about to pass through Audubon on U.S. 71, I decided I would have Sam do the job for me. After renewing old times and 20 minutes later, I walked out with a haircut like I still wear to this day. My wife, Thelma, was not aware of this decision before hand, but she thought it was a good job, and still likes it today, as I do, too. Thanks, Sam.

What I love about Sam, the barber, is that he wears many hats. I've not had a haircut from him, but have seen him in action and also sat a spell and chatted with him ... on more than one occasion!
Not only is Sam the local barber, he is also the Mayor of Audubon. Having worked at the local newspaper, I've also seen him at work on the City Council.
You can get a haircut, a shave and get the local scoops, along with his political opinions, which he is more than willing to share. People come far and wide to get cut ... and the scuttlebutt ...
Gotta love Sam, the barber man! And anyone who knows him ... does!
Good luck, Superman! Lois is rootin' for you! I can't wait to see you sporting "crown" ... smiles!
