Question of the Week

Long Hair or Short?

Beverly Voss, 58, title examiner

14 Split End Lane, Lancaster, PA

Short. My hairdresser said it would take ten years off me. Unfortunately, my employer accepted her assessment and postponed my retirement. I have been growing it back for eight months. Human resources says they will review my eligibility when it reaches my shoulders.

Long. My father said I could cut it when I stopped trying to upset him. He has been dead eleven years, but I have no way of knowing whether he has calmed down. My sister says I should ask a medium. I would prefer somebody who knew him.

Donna Rusk, 46, purchasing manager

Short. My husband says he prefers long hair, so I saved what they cut off and gave it to him in a bag. He seemed uncomfortable, considering it was exactly what he wanted. Now when he says he misses my long hair, I remind him where he put it.
