italy behind him i i came to canada on a satur day and i started working at steves barber shop in the ap plaza the very next week he recalls he quickly went about the business of learning english at rijght school while acquiring a knowledge of the haircutting fsiness that would see him take er steves in 1969 changing its rfame to the hairworks he sold the business in 1983 and returned to italy to tend to some personal business but a year and a half later he was back much to the delight of his faithful stouffville following he took over the mens side of the fame operation after he came back to canada in 1984 and hes been there ever since iever the personable in dividual mario says hes come to develop a deep love of stouffville a maple resident he has serious ly considered moving here with his wife and daughter but has found it difficult to do because of his wifes teaching position at dufferin st and hwy 7 ive been here so long i know everybody he smiles i had a chance to work in toronto when i returned from italy in 1984 but i couldnt stay away from stouffville oand while marios career in terests have always centred around hair cutting and styling he has worked at broadening his horizons ever since he first came to canada he earned his grade is at bathurst heights collegiate and has since taken accounting at seneca college as well as ac quiring his real estate licence i

status he works at fame mens hair styling on main st w bruce stapley characterized stouffville in re cent years as a positive thing its made a big difference to the town he says and its a challenge to me because with most of the newcomers coming from toronto youve got to keep up to date when it comes to cut ting hair but he insists the influx of peo ple hasnt taken away from the friendly nature of stouffvilles people i enjoy the people very much he insists if i didnt then i wouldnt be doing this type of work mario says hell engage his customers in conversations rang ing from the town itself right through their personal problems he gives advice when asked but i dont know if they ever use it he grins the subject of sports is something he often finds himself and his customers getting into his own likes and dislikes i think theleafs stink he says flatly the blue jays well theyve blown it this year but thev are still a good team over all he reports that he has had his share of happy customers through the years no doubt at tributable at least in part to his engaging personality but there was one exception he insists several years ago this seven or eight year old boy came in and said he wanted a brush cut soon after his mother came in all upset blaming me for giv ing him his terrible hair cut he claims he has been a little leery of strangers in his shop ever since the saturday he allow ed two ladies to use the washroom only to have them smash the ceramic top of the toilet bowl they took off in a i one in every crowd ontario junior citizen of the year awards in
