Team Carl hasn't added a story.
UPDATES 5/10/20:
- See Randy Beach's nice front page column on Carl 5/10/20 here (picture below). Thank you
Randy! His prior columns here: 2018, 2015.
- Based on the story, Carl's friends should find him a place to stay downtown! If you have any ideas for a studio or room that we could snag for him for a month or two or three, email me.
- Check with net proceeds to date from PayPal sent to Carl last week (accounting available on request) and many checks sent directly-- thank you!
- We raised the goal and extended the date to May 20 as the day of possible reopening.
Welcome to a page created to make it easier for customers and friends of Carl McManus to send him a big hello and tip while we wait for the shop to reopen and visit with him again.
Carl - we miss you! Take care and come back soon!
Carl's customers have joined together before to send him to front row seats in Fenway once and then to the World Series in 2013.
In 2015, many of us helped celebrate Carl's 50 years cutting hair in New Haven with a surprise party at Anna Liffey's. It was quite an evening -- Carl's family joined in. Former Yale President Rick Levin flew back a day early from California to join current President Peter Salovey, Guido Calabresi and so many others to celebrate Carl. What a party! (pictures below)
Now as Carl is at home without his daily job, we all want to wish him well and provide a tip to express our deep appreciation for his years and years as our barber and friend!
Please give what you can -- you can choose to post the amount and your name or not -- if you do make your tip anonymous, please let me know by email if you want me to add your name here to the list below of customers and friends contributing.
You can also mail me a check made out to Carl if you prefer (86 Cottage Street, New Haven, CT 06511) or to Carl directly at 284 Colonial Boulevard, West Haven, CT 06516. If you let me know, I will add your amount to the online total as an anonymous contribution and add your name to the manual list if you indicate you want me to.
All funds will be forwarded to Carl as they come in, working with his daughter Rose. I will provide a full accounting of all funds received through this site that I pass on to Carl for anyone who asks.
Thanks for joining in!
