It was the summer of 1966 and I was in third grade. Our family was moving to a run-down house in the middle of nowhere. I did not want to move, but of course; I had no choice and one weekend we were working on the 120-year-old farmhouse in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
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.
Really enjoyed this, Scott. Thanks for sharing!

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