Stylish smiles

MORAVIA - Sometimes the best birthday gifts are those you didn't even know you wanted.

“He wouldn't have wanted her to cut it (her hair) off,” said Elizabeth Figgolari, widow of Albert Figgolari who died of cancer two years ago come Sept. 15. “But he'd understand why.”

Six-year-old Paige Fairbanks from Moravia arrived at Awaken Salon and Spa on Aurora Street in Moravia at noon Thursday, what would have been Albert's - her grandfather - 78th birthday, to donate 16 inches of her long light brown hair to Locks of Love. The organization will then use the hair to create wigs for children with cancer.
