Mohawks in history

We went to visit with Grandpa Gordon last week. We weren’t able to stay long since he had to go to his art class. But Grandpa enjoyed seeing Tru’s ‘hawk and he told us that way back in the day, he (Grandpa) paid his little brother 10¢ to let Grandpa shave his hair into a mohawk and then go downtown and buy a sucker. Grandpa was laughing as he remembered the story. When I asked if his brother was embarassed to go downtown with his mohawk, Grandpa laughed and said, “Aw, he didn’t care!” Grandpa also reminded me that my dad had a ‘hawk when he was a kid too. So Tru’s got plenty of precedent–the ‘hawk was nearly inevitable!
