This story was produced by Erica Heilman and Larry Massett for Erica's podcast, Rumble Strip Vermont.

Vaughn Hood was a 118-pound barber when he was drafted into the Vietnam War. And in Vaughn’s war, most men didn’t survive their first three-month tour. Now Vaughn Hood runs a hair salon in St. Johnsbury with his wife, Bev. For a couple days, Erica sat and talked with him in the back of his salon... about war, about hard work, about survival, and hairdressing.
