One of my favorite episodes, Scott. Your dad was quite a guy -- a man who had so many practical skills! I wish I could have met him. I delight in the description here of you two boys throwing debris out the window! Smashing things up! Setting it on fire! A boy's dream of demolition come true -- and in a meaningful way.
Oh, sorry! Let me retract that, Scott! I think the last time you and I "talked", I was saying my mother would like to have known your dad. The same "can-do" spirit. SHE is the one who passed away.... not your dad. Glad he is still going strong.
Really enjoyed this, Scott. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Sharron. He is actually still with us, I just visited him in Florida a few weeks ago with my daughter and her husband. He will be 92 in May.

Nice story Scott. There is great value in learning skills from a father.
