Mr. Quinney, who has been the owner of the Stedmans Stedmans store in downtown Newcastle for 19 years, and owner of a barber shop on the front street for 23 years, has decided it's time to take life "a little easier."

Although he's planning to do some "catch-up" work around his house and cottage, cottage, he also hopes to be able to continue playing old- timers hockey and golf. Regrets about selling the business are something he doesn't plan to spend any time thinking about, though. "We've done reasonably well for a small business. We've enjoyed our time here," he states. But he adds that he'll miss the people he's met through his store over the yeays. The village has grown in population during his time in business. He estimated that only 600 or so people were residents there when he started his first business in 1947. For 23 years, Barbershop stood front street where could be found getting a trim and later bringing their sons in for haircuts ns well. During that time, ho recalls, recalls, brush cuts wore all the rage and creating the bristly look was something ho said Quinney's . on the he was "pretty good at." Hair styles suddenly went from short-cropped hair to longer hair on men and the style just didn't cut it with Mr. Quinney. , He said he would have fathers fathers bringing their sons into the shop expecting him to cut the boys' hair short. The boy, he said, would be sitting in the barber chair asking him to keep it long. Trying to please both father father and son got to be too difficult for Mr. Quinney, himself a father of two sons. So he left the business, along with many other barbers barbers of the day, he recalled. "People used to get their hair cut every two weeks with a brush cut," but he said the longer style didn't need to be cut for many weeks. So, in 1970 he gave up the business of cutting hair and moved into retail. The transition wasn't as difficult as it might appear, he insists. He explains it was simply "a matter of liking liking people." Perhaps it was the people part of the retail business that prompted the Quinneys to purchase the Stedmans store in Bowmanville two years ago. Since that time, Mrs. Quinney has been managing the operations of the store but sne may find her husband husband offering to help her out now and then. He jokes about the term "house husband" in reference reference to his plans for the future. future. He notes that his wife has been suggesting ho take up that occupation but it's not something he can see in his future. At lonst, not yet.
