Owner George Bentley shares his life experiences and how he came to set up shop in Foxborough.
George Bentley, the owner of George’s Barber Shop, has been in Foxborough for more than 15 years but he’s well-versed in many professions. “I did all kinds of things,” he said. Bentley said he had been a bar owner in Costa Rica during the mid 1970s and then worked on rigs for Exxon doing exploratory drilling for uranium. It was there that he saw a particular barber shop in Wyoming that made him think drilling was not what he wanted to do with his professional life. “It struck me as a nice way to make a living,” he said. “When I was in Wyoming, I went to a barber shop and said some day when I settle down that’s what I’m going to do.” Bentley, originally from Weston, said he went to barber school after drilling and has been doing it ever …

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told media Monday he expects to return to the team in 2013.
One day after a crushing defeat in the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked - after 37 years of NFL coaching experience – if he is energized to coach another season. “Yeah, I’ll be here,” Belichick said. “You’ll have to deal with me again next year. I know that’s disappointing for a lot of you. Until I’m told otherwise, I plan on being here.” Belichick’s confirmation in Monday’s end-of-season press conference at Gillette Stadium validates comments made by Patriots team president Jonathan Kraft last month on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
