Every Wednesday morning, homeless men arrive for their haircuts at the Listening House of St. Paul, Minn., eager to take a seat in what was once a dental chair.
Some will eye their barber, and a nearby portrait of people in a 1890s barbershop, and they’ll ask: “Which one are you?”
The barber, Ken Porwoll, takes it in stride.
He is, after all, 89 years old. As a former prisoner of war and father of nine, Porwoll has done a lot of living.
