His father refused an offer to run away with the circus.  That is how Vincent came to be a barber.

The story . . . Papa Attianese was a trumpet player of some renown when P.T. Barnum offered him a job with the circus.  Papa said, "No".

He'd rather setup shop in Bridgeport and raise a family.  The family would eventually live over the

barber shop on Main Street.

Vincent took over the shop in 1947.
