He did, he served for a little over two years in Korea. If anyone knew C.B., they knew he loved to talk, so the perfect career for him was being a Barber. He cut hair in Havana, Quincy and Tallahassee for many years. As middle age approached, he decided to go into the insurance business. Being an insurance adjuster and selling insurance was right up his alley. He retired, not very long though... C.B. started a very successful lawn care business. “CB Griner Lawn Service”
