I HAD THE DISTINCT PLEASURE OF HAVING A FATHER WHO WAS AN ENGINEER BY EDUCATION(N.Y.U. & COLUMBIA)& TRAINING(ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS). BUILT THE ALCAN AND DESIGNED BRIDGES FOR WWII (AND THEN SUMMARILY BLEW THEM UP IN A HEARTBEAT). FOR 30 YRS I WITNESSED HIM DISSAMBLE AND REBUILD VIRTUALLY ANYTHING RELATED TO HOMES,CARS,RESTAURANTS- ALL WHILE ENDURING MY PESTERING CURIOUSITY. HE ALWAYS KNEW WHEN TO BACK OFF BY FOREGOING HIS DEPRESSION ERA FRUGALITY AND TESTERONE PRIDE.
OH BY THE WAY- HE NEVER STORED NUTS,BOLTS,SCREWS OR NAILS IN HIS MOUTH- SAID IT IS EASIER TO GET OUT OF YOUR POCKET THAN YOUR THROAT. BECAUSE ONE TIME WHILE WORKING ON A HOUSE IN THE IN THE 1940's HE KNEW A GUY.......
WELL YOU KNOW... NICE JOB RON!!!!
