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.

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.

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.

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